Neutrosophic sets have recently emerged as a tool for dealing with imprecise, indeterminate, inconsistent data, while soft sets may have the potential to deal with uncertainties that classical methods cannot control. Combining these two types of sets results in a unique hybrid structure, a neutrosophic soft set (NS-set), for working effectively in uncertain environments. This paper focuses on determining operations on NS-sets through two novel norms. Accordingly, the $ {\rm{min}}-{\rm{n}}{\rm{o}}{\rm{r}}{\rm{m}} $ and $ {\rm{max}}-{\rm{n}}{\rm{o}}{\rm{r}}{\rm{m}} $ are well-defined here for the first time to construct the intersection, union, difference, AND, OR operations. Then, the topology, open set, closed set, interior, closure, regularity concepts on NS-sets are introduced based on these just constructed operations. All the properties in the paper are stated in theorem form, which is proved convincingly and logically. In addition, we also elucidate the relationship between the topology on NS-sets and the fuzzy soft topologies generated by the truth, indeterminacy, falsity degrees by theorems and counterexamples.
