Aims and Scope
Optimization Methods and Software
publishes refereed papers on the latest developments in the theory and realization of optimization methods, with particular emphasis on the interface between software development and algorithm design.

Topics include:
Theory, implementation and performance evaluation of algorithms and computer codes for linear, nonlinear, discrete, stochastic optimization and optimal control. This includes in particular conic, semi-definite, mixed integer, network, non-smooth, multi-objective and global optimization by deterministic or nondeterministic algorithms.
Algorithms and software for complementarity, variational inequalities and equilibrium problems, and also for solving inverse problems, systems of nonlinear equations and the numerical study of parameter dependent operators.
Various aspects of efficient and user-friendly implementations: e.g. automatic differentiation, massively parallel optimization, distributed computing, on-line algorithms, error sensitivity and validity analysis, problem scaling, stopping criteria and symbolic numeric interfaces.
Theoretical studies with clear potential for applications and successful applications of specially adapted optimization methods and software to fields like engineering, machine learning, data mining, economics, finance, biology, or medicine. These submissions should not consist solely of the straightforward use of standard optimization techniques.

The following text translates to: "Mathematical optimization field is quite recognized for its high requirements for algorithm innovation. Due to the difficulty of publication and low circulation, it is becoming more and more unpopular. After two major revisions and two minor revisions, the paper was accepted by two reviewers. The review comments were quite professional, making the editing process challenging and quite tedious."

So slow, so slow, even though it is a math journal, it is only in the third tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The speed of review seems to be submitting to a top-tier journal.
