It is a top journal of fuzzy sets. The editors are all experts in the field, and the reviewers are basically outstanding achievers in various fields. However, the acceptance rate is low, estimated to be only 10%–20%. The articles are mainly about mathematical theories, the review period is long, and some articles were only accepted more than two years later. The other top journal of fuzzy set theory, IEEE Fuzzy Systems, is biased towards engineering. The two journals complement each other and are highly recognized in the industry.

A top journal in fuzzy sets. It focuses on the basic theory and mathematical model of fuzzy sets. The quality of the articles is relatively high and it is difficult to publish an article in it. Judging from the articles in recent years, the quality of the articles is better than that of IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems. The articles with several simulation diagrams and simulation algorithms can be published in IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems. The impact factor is raised by cross-reference, and the quality is really poor.

It’s so slow. After submission, the status had been editor invited for more than a month. The processing speed is really slow. After half a year, the review is over and the status becomes review completed. However, it took more than a month for the editor to give the review comments. After the revised version was submitted, it was editor invited again. It’s been one month and still hasn’t been sent to peer review.

You are progressing quite fast. I have been in for two months. Yesterday was DIP. I don't know if I will be rejected.

Is anyone still applying now? It's been over a year, and the mini program already shows that the review has been completed, but no results have been given yet.

It took two years and three months to finally get hired! So slow!

It's been two years and still no luck! The deputy editor of this journal is as slow as death!

(0) Thank | 五篇一斗

Too slow, the slowest journal I have ever seen. I suspect the editor only updates the system once every 3 months.

There is no slowest! Only slower! I won't invest anymore!

This journal is too slow as well.

I'm stuck in the "editor invited" status again! I find this status to be the slowest.

The submission was made on 8.27 and has been Editor Invited ever since, with no changes.

The editor invited for over a month without any response! Too slow!

(0) Thank | fuzzy neural

Will the reviewers not run away, the editor has invited them for ten days without any response!

(0) Thank | fuzzy neural

I sent an email in the submission system to inquire, but the response was very formal, almost like not replying at all.

The hacker changed accounts and started hacking again. Are you not tired? Is that stupid account beneath you also yours? Hahaha.
