Open Journal of Optimization (OJOp) is an open access journal published quarterly. The goal of this journal is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in all aspects of optimization. All manuscripts must be prepared in English and are subject to a rigorous peer-review process. Generally, accepted papers will appear online within 3 weeks followed by printed hard copy.

The journal publishes original papers including but not limited to the following fields:

• · Applications of Optimization in Science and Engineering
  Aerospace, Automotive, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial, Mechanical, Mining, Naval, Structural, Robotics and Transportation Engineering
  Biology, Toxicology and Forestry
  Computer-aided Design, Design Automation, Multi-disciplinary Design, Topology Optimization
  Control Theory, Dynamic Systems and Vibrations
  Energy Systems and Sustainability
  Financial Systems, Business, Management, Economics, Accounting, Supply-chains and Inventory Control
  Information Technology and Software Development

We are also interested in:

1) Short reports—2-5 page papers where an author can present either preliminary data or an idea with theoretical background but has not yet completed the research needed for a complete paper;

2) Book reviews—Comments and critiques.
