Aims and Scope
Swarm and Evolutionary Computation is the first peer-reviewed publication of its kind that aims at reporting the most recent research and developments in the area of nature-inspired intelligent computation based on the principles of swarm and evolutionary algorithms. It publishes advanced, innovative and interdisciplinary research involving the theoretical, experimental and practical aspects of the two paradigms and their hybridizations. Swarm and Evolutionary Computation is committed to timely publication of very high-quality, peer-reviewed, original articles that advance the state-of-the art of all aspects of evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence. Survey papers reviewing the state-of-the-art of timely topics will also be welcomed as well as novel and interesting applications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Genetic Algorithms, and Genetic Programming, Evolution Strategies, and Evolutionary Programming, Differential Evolution, Artificial Immune Systems, Particle Swarms, Ant Colony, Bacterial Foraging, Artificial Bees, Fireflies Algorithm, Harmony Search, Artificial Life, Digital Organisms, Estimation of Distribution Algorithms, Stochastic Diffusion Search, Quantum Computing, Nano Computing, Membrane Computing, Human-centric Computing, Hybridization of Algorithms, Memetic Computing, Autonomic Computing, Self-organizing systems, Combinatorial, Discrete, Binary, Constrained, Multi-objective, Multi-modal, Dynamic, and Large-scale Optimization.

Jan 22, 2022 First revision (Three reviewers provided minor revisions + AE gave multiple comments, totaling four reviewers)

Overall, the process was very fast. The AE's comments were very strict and difficult to address, but also very professional. The article went through two rounds of review in the journal Knowledge-Based Systems, taking 14 months (10 months for the first review, with only two reviewers providing insignificant comments). It was ultimately unreasonably rejected by the editor, and I almost gave up. However, when I submitted it to SEC, it unexpectedly went smoothly. I feel very lucky.

Some are fast, while others are slow. It takes more than two years in some cases. I think the speed of review is related to the associate editor we encounter. Some associate editors are very slow in handling, taking a month to process the manuscript once it reaches their hands, and then another month to process it after receiving the review comments. It cannot be denied that this journal has improved its quality very quickly, and its reputation in the evolutionary algorithm community is very good. I feel that CCF should consider including it.
