Neutrosophic Set is a generalization of Crisp Set, Fuzzy Set, Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set, Inconsistent Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (Picture Fuzzy Set, Ternary Fuzzy Set), Pythagorean Fuzzy Set, Fermatean Set, q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Set, Spherical Fuzzy Set, and n-HyperSpherical Fuzzy Set. The Neutrosophic Set has been further extended to a Refined Neutrosophic Set.

Neutrosophy, as a new branch of philosophy, has been also extended to Refined Neutrosophy, and consequently, Neutrosophication was extended to Refined Neutrosophication. Whence, Regret Theory, Grey System Theory, and Three-Ways Decision are particular cases of Neutrosophication and of Neutrosophic Probability. We have further extended the Three-Ways Decision to n-Ways Decision, the last one is a particular case of Refined Neutrosophy.

Neutrosophy (based on contradictions and their neutrals) [1995] is an extension of the international movement called Paradoxism (based only on contradictions in science, literature, and arts) [1980].

More information on paradoxism you find herein: https://fs.unm.edu/a/paradoxism.htm.

HyperSoft Set is a generalization of the Soft Set by transforming the uni-argument function F into a multi-argument function. IndetermSoft Set and IndetermHyperSoft Set that deal with operators having some degree of indeterminacy due to the imprecision of our world. And TreeSoft Set as an extension of the MultiSoft Set.

Further on there were introduced Plithogeny (as a generalization of Yin-Yang, Dialectics, and Neutrosophy), Plithogenic Set and Plithogenic Logic as a generalization of MultiVariate Logic and Plithogenic Probability and Plithogenic Statistics as generalizations of MultiVariate Probability and Statistics (as a generalization of fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, neutrosophic set/logic/probability/statistics).

NeutroAlgebra and AntiAlgebra are generalizations and alternatives of classical Algebraic Structures (Algebras). See also the  SuperHyperAlgebra & Neutrosophic SuperHyperAlgebraSuperHyperGraph & Neutrosophic SuperHyperGraphSuperHyperFunctionn, SuperHyperTopology.

NeutroGeometry and AntiGeometry are generalizations and alternatives of the Non-Euclidean Geometries.

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems International Journal is committed to ensuring ethics in the publication and quality of articles. The journal aims to publish only original scientific papers that contribute to the area of neutrosophic theories & their applications and related topics. In accordance with standards of ethical behavior, it is therefore expected from all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and Publishers.

Human Subjects Research

 Before conducting human subjects research, the author(s) must secure prior approval and ensure that explicit written consent has been obtained from each identified individual for the use of their information.

The authors of neutrosophic papers are included in the Encyclopedia of Neutrosophic Researchers (ENR)
Vol. 1Vol. 2Vol. 3Vol. 4Vol. 5Vol. 6.

Neutrosophic authors, not included into these volumes, are pleased to submit to the Editors-in-Chief: a photo, a short CV, and the List of their neutrosophic published papers - to be included in the next ENR volumes.

Neutrosophic Science International Association (NSIA)

numbers more than 1,200 neutrosophic researchers, with branches in 90 countries around the world, that have published more than two thousands neutrosophic papers, conference presentations, books, MSc and PhD theses since 1998 when the neutrosophic theories were founded.

Special Issues

Special Issues of the NSS represent curate compilations of papers focused on a particular topic. These thematic collections are meticulously organized and guided by subject matter authorities who assume the mantle of Guest Editorship. Within this framework, all submissions undergo the standard rigorous peer review process, ensuring scholarly integrity and quality consistent with regular publications. 

Typically, the NSS Editorial Board extends invitations to esteemed scholars to serve as Guest Editors for these Special Issues. However, the editorial team also encourages and welcomes proposals from potential Guest Editors who wish to spearhead thematic collections aligned with the publication's scope and objectives. 

The oversight of Guest Editor appointments and the evaluation of Special Issue proposals rest within the purview of the Editors-in-Chief, to ensure cohesion and adherence to the publication's standards while fostering diversity and innovation within the realm of specialized discourse. 

PhD and Master Dissertations on neutrosophic theories and applications are cited in our above neutrosophy's official website.
