Update and Notice Regarding Journal of Nonlinear Analysis and Optimization: Theory & Applications
To our authors, reviewers, and readers:
It has been brought to the attention of the Editorial Board that a fraudulent website is unlawfully operating under the name of our journal, attempting to impersonate the Journal of Nonlinear Analysis and Optimization: Theory & Applications (JNAO).
This clone website (www.jnao-nu.com) has illegally copied our journal’s title, ISSN, and the names of our Editorial Board members to deceive researchers into submitting manuscripts and paying unauthorized fees. Furthermore, this fraudulent site is minting invalid DOIs (e.g., under the prefix 10.36893) that do not belong to our institution.
Please be advised of the following official information to ensure you are interacting with the genuine journal:
-
The ONLY Official Website: The genuine JNAO submission and publication portal is hosted strictly on the Thai Journal Citation Index (ThaiJO) platform at: https://ph03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jnao
-
Official DOIs: All legitimate articles published by JNAO are registered through Crossref using the official Naresuan University DOI prefix: 10.69650.
-
Zero Publication Fees: As a reminder, the genuine JNAO is a fully Open Access journal that does not charge any submission, processing, or publication fees (APCs). If a website asks you for payment to publish in JNAO, it is a scam.
Action for Authors: We strongly advise all authors to verify the URL before submitting any manuscripts. Do not submit your research, personal information, or any payments to the fraudulent website.
If you have accidentally submitted your work to the clone website, or if you have any doubts about the authenticity of an email claiming to be from our editorial office, please contact us immediately at our official email address: narinp@nu.ac.th or natthaphona@nu.ac.th.
We are currently working with Crossref and the relevant authorities to address this intellectual property infringement and have the fraudulent site removed.
