Most-cited papers in Frontiers in Complex Systems

Frontiers in Complex Systems

M. San Miguel · 16 Feb 2023

In this paper I intend to give an answer to three entangled questions: What is a Complex System?, What are present research challenges in Complex Systems?, and What is the purpose of the new journal Frontiers in Complex Systems?1. What is a Complex System? [1-3]Complexity comes from the Latin word “plexus” which indicates non-separability in…

Resilience—Towards an interdisciplinary definition using information theory

Eleni Nisioti, Colby J. Clark, Kaushik Das et al. · 25 Sep 2023

The term “resilience” has risen in popularity following a series of natural disasters, the impacts of climate change, and the Covid-19 pandemic. However, different disciplines use the term in widely different ways, resulting in confusion regarding how the term is used and difficulties operationalising the underlying concept. Drawing on an overview of eleven disciplines, our…

Heterogeneity extends criticality

Fernanda Sánchez-Puig, Octavio Zapata, Omar K. Pineda et al. · 3 May 2023

Criticality has been proposed as a mechanism for the emergence of complexity, life, and computation, as it exhibits a balance between order and chaos. In classic models of complex systems where structure and dynamics are considered homogeneous, criticality is restricted to phase transitions, leading either to robust (ordered) or fragile (chaotic) phases for most of…

Dynamical stability and chaos in artificial neural network trajectories along training

Kaloyan Danovski, Miguel C. Soriano, Lucas Lacasa · 17 May 2024

The process of training an artificial neural network involves iteratively adapting its parameters so as to minimize the error of the network’s prediction, when confronted with a learning task. This iterative change can be naturally interpreted as a trajectory in network space–a time series of networks–and thus the training algorithm (e.g., gradient descent optimization of…

Frontiers in Complex Systems template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Frontiers in Complex Systems format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Frontiers in Complex Systems template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Frontiers format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Frontiers in Complex Systems use?
Frontiers in Complex Systems uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Frontiers in Complex Systems, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Frontiers in Complex Systems?
No. DocuGuru generates the FrontiersinHarvard LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Frontiers-ready Frontiers in Complex Systems document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Frontiers in Complex Systems template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Frontiers in Complex Systems format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Frontiers in Complex Systems?
Frontiers journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by Frontiers.
Can I export a submission-ready Frontiers in Complex Systems PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Frontiers in Complex Systems template (the FrontiersinHarvard class) that is ready to submit to Frontiers, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
