JOURNAL OF INTELLIGENT & FUZZY SYSTEMS

This journal had three articles last year. The first article was accepted in May last year, and the WoS search was conducted in the school library in late August. In December last year, the search certificate showed that it was still categorized and had an impact factor (4th quartile, 1.85).

The second article was accepted in October last year, and the WoS search was conducted at the end of February this year. At the beginning of this month, the search certificate obtained from the library showed that it no longer had a category and impact factor, only being included in SCI.

The third article was accepted on December 8, 2021, and pre-press was done on December 25. I have been sending emails inquiring about when it can be published. On March 30, 2022, the reply was as follows:

"Please note that your article has been assigned to volume 42(6), which is expected to be published by the end of April 2022." It is estimated that the WoS search will be conducted around mid-May, and the search certificate will likely only show SCI inclusion without a category and impact factor.

Here's my payment experience: In the payment email that the editor sent to you, you need to fill in the relevant invoice information yourself and submit it. After a few days, you will receive an invoice. I couldn't make the payment with a credit card, so I was puzzled. I made the payment by transferring money through the Construction Bank. The invoice includes the other party's account information. You can do it through the Construction Bank mobile app, first purchase foreign currency with your debit card, and then transfer it over. However, there will be a handling fee, around 100 RMB. Until now, I haven't received any proof of payment. It has been about two weeks since the payment, and you can check the status of the paper on the official website.
