contents By using dimensionless conductances as scaling variables, the conventional one-parameter scaling theory of localization fails for non-reciprocal non-Hermitian systems such as the Hanato-Nelson model. Here, we propose a one-parameter scaling function using the participation ratio as the scaling variable. Employing a highly accurate numerical procedure based on exact diagonalization, we demonstrate that this one-parameter scaling function can describe Anderson localization transitions of non-reciprocal non-Hermitian systems in one and two dimensions of symmetry classes AI and A. The critical exponents of correlation lengths depend on symmetries and dimensionality only, a typical feature of universality. Moreover, we derive a complex-gap equation based on the self-consistent Born approximation that can determine the disorder at which the point gap closes. The obtained disorders match perfectly the critical disorders of Anderson localization transitions from the one-parameter scaling function. Finally, we show that the one-parameter scaling function is also valid for Anderson localization transitions in reciprocal non-Hermitian systems such as two-dimensional class AII$^\dagger$ and can, thus, serve as a unified scaling function for disordered non-Hermitian systems.
