Aims and Scope
Applied Soft Computing is an international journal promoting an integrated view of soft computing to solve real life problems. Soft computing is a collection of methodologies, which aim to exploit tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth to achieve tractability, robustness and low solution cost. The focus is to publish the highest quality research in application and convergence of the areas of Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computing, Rough Sets and other similar techniques to address real world complexities.
Applied Soft Computing is a rolling publication: articles are published as soon as the editor-in-chief has accepted them. Therefore, the web site will continuously be updated with new articles and the publication time will be short.

Verified Reviews
07 May 22 Revise and Resubmit (No external review, AE directly asked for revision)
26 Jul 22 Under Review
1 Sep 22 Under Review (No response from reviewers, sent a reminder letter to AE)
4 Sep 22 Under Review (AE replied that reviewers have been reminded, and two reviewers came in)
14 Sep 22 Under Review (One reviewer completed the review)
19 Sep 22 Rejected (Rejected directly)
However, only feedback from one reviewer was provided, and the AE explicitly stated that the rejection was based on this reviewer's feedback: The reviewer mentioned that several punctuation marks should be periods. They also copied several paragraphs of my content (I thought it was their comments, but it turned out to be my own content. Couldn't they use ellipses for long paragraphs to show professionalism?), and they also mentioned that the text was too long and the images needed to be enlarged to be clearly visible (but I used vector images). They concluded that the technical quality was not satisfactory, so it was not suitable for publication.
Then the AE commented: I completely agree with the reviewer's viewpoint.
In just six months, my paper was rejected because of punctuation marks. Overall, I feel that this journal treats papers quite casually, and I have no idea where they found the reviewers and AE with such standards... LOL. No wonder it dropped from a top-tier to a second-tier journal. Anyway, I won't submit to it again...
