Advances in Fuzzy Systems

Advances in Fuzzy Systems is an open access research journal covering the theory and the applications of fuzzy subsets and fuzzy systems, published under the Hindawi name inside the Wiley portfolio.《模糊系统的进展》是覆盖模糊子集与模糊系统理论及其应用的开放获取研究期刊，以 Hindawi 名号在 Wiley 刊群之下出版。

The title began in 2008, when Hindawi was still an independent publisher, and it has kept an annual-volume arrangement in which one calendar year forms one volume carrying article numbers rather than page ranges.该刊 2008 年起步，那时 Hindawi 还是独立出版方，年度卷制一直沿用，一个日历年构成一卷、卷内是文章编号而不是页码区间。

All content is free to read under a Creative Commons attribution licence, and the running cost is met by a publication charge on the author side, for which waivers and regional discounts are offered.全部内容在知识共享署名许可下免费可读，运行成本由作者一侧缴纳的出版费承担，出版方同时给出减免与地区折扣通道。

Clarivate lists the title in the Emerging Sources Citation Index across two categories, applied mathematics and artificial intelligence, with a Q1 position in the mathematical one.Clarivate 把它收在新兴来源引文索引（ESCI）之下，跨应用数学与人工智能两个类目，在数学类目里排到 Q1。

Original research and review articles make up the body of the journal, whose readers sit in computational intelligence, control engineering and the applied mathematics of uncertainty.原创研究与综述文章构成刊物主体，读者分布在计算智能、控制工程与不确定性的应用数学之间。

Scope

• The remit stated for the journal takes in all aspects of the theory and the applications of fuzzy subsets and systems, with basic and applied work accepted on the same footing.刊物自述的收稿范围纳入模糊子集与模糊系统之理论和应用的所有方面，基础研究与工作应用同等受理。
• The mathematics of the field opens the list of topics, covering fuzzy sets and fuzzy measures, possibility and necessity distributions, and the many-valued logics built on them.该领域的数学排在选题首位，含模糊集合与模糊测度、可能性与必要性分布，以及建立其上的多值逻辑。
• Membership functions and their construction receive separate attention, including interval-valued, type-2 and intuitionistic variants, together with the aggregation operators used to combine them.隶属函数的构造单列关注，涉及区间值、二型与直觉模糊等变体，以及用于合并这些取值的聚合算子。
• Approximate reasoning is a standing topic, with papers on inference rules, controllers of the Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno type, and the interpretability of the rule bases those controllers produce.近似推理是常设议题，论文涉及推理规则、Mamdani 型与 Takagi-Sugeno 型控制器，以及这类控制器所得规则库的可解释性。
• Uncertainty modelling extends beyond fuzziness, and the scope admits rough sets, evidence theory, granular computing and hybrid treatments that pair graded membership with probability.不确定性建模超出模糊性本身，范围说明容纳粗糙集、证据理论、粒计算，以及把隶属度与概率配对的混合处理。
• Decision making under vague information holds a visible place, with multi-attribute and group decision models, linguistic preference relations and ranking methods for fuzzy numbers.含糊信息之下的决策占有显著位置，具体有多属性与群决策模型、语言偏好关系以及模糊数的排序方法。
• Learning and optimisation enter through neuro-fuzzy networks, genetic fuzzy systems and fuzzy programming, where a graded representation is kept because it leaves models readable.学习与优化经由神经模糊网络、遗传模糊系统与模糊规划进入刊物，保留分级表示的理由是它让模型依旧可读。
• Identification, modelling and prediction of dynamical processes form an applied stream that includes time series work and fuzzy models of industrial plants.动态过程的辨识、建模与预测构成一条应用线索，涵盖时间序列工作与工业装置的模糊模型。
• Pattern recognition, clustering and image analysis are in view, with derivatives of fuzzy c-means, feature weighting schemes and classification performed on partial information.模式识别、聚类与图像分析皆在视野之内，具体有模糊 C 均值法的派生方法、特征加权方案以及依据部分信息完成的分类。
• Information retrieval and fuzzy database work draws on graded matching, query languages tolerant of imprecision, and the handling of records whose attributes are incomplete.信息检索与模糊数据库方向涉及分级匹配、容许不精确的查询语言，以及属性不完整记录的处理。
• Control applications reach robotics, motor drives, power systems and process control, and the catalogue puts the title as well under electrical engineering and software.控制类应用延伸到机器人、电机传动、电力系统与过程控制，书目分类也把该刊同时归入电气工程与计算机软件。
• The applied side of the table of contents covers medicine and biology, finance and economics, environmental assessment and logistics, often with a method borrowed rather than invented.目录的应用一侧覆盖医学与生物、金融与经济、环境评估与物流，这些地方多借用现成方法而非自创。
• Algebraic and structural studies also find space, among them fuzzy graphs, fuzzy substructures of algebraic objects and fixed-point results in fuzzy metric spaces.代数与结构性研究同样有版面，包括模糊图、代数对象的模糊子结构以及模糊度量空间中的不动点结果。

History

• The journal appeared in 2008 from Hindawi Publishing Corporation, the open access house that had been founded in 1997, and it was registered with a paired set of identifiers, 1687-7101 and 1687-711X.该刊 2008 年由 Hindawi Publishing Corporation 推出，这家开放获取出版机构创办于 1997 年，刊物登记有一对号码 1687-7101 与 1687-711X。
• The first deposit in the citation record is dated January 2008, and the article that opened the volume, a rough sets study of knowledge discovery, was released the following February.引文记录里的第一笔存缴落在 2008 年 1 月，拉开首卷的那篇文章是 2 月刊出的一篇粗糙集知识发现研究。^[1]
• Open access was total from the beginning, the licence on those early papers being the Creative Commons attribution version 3.0, later replaced by version 4.0 on newly published work.自创刊便是完全开放获取，早期文章的许可是知识共享署名 3.0 版，新刊文章后来改用 4.0 版。
• Article-level citation took the place of paginated issues throughout, each year closing as one volume whose items carry identifiers rather than page ranges.全程以文章为单位引用而非按页码排期，每年收为一卷，卷内条目带的是编号而不是页码区间。
• Output peaked in the middle years, one count putting 60 articles in the 2012 volume and 47 in 2018, before settling at the handful of papers per year seen recently.产出在中段年份冲到高值，有统计给出 2012 年卷 60 篇、2018 年卷 47 篇，近年回落到每年寥寥数篇。
• John Wiley and Sons bought Hindawi in 2021 for a stated 298 million US dollars, which placed the title inside a subscription publisher while leaving its open access terms in place.2021 年 John Wiley and Sons 以公开报价 2.98 亿美元买下 Hindawi，该刊由此进入一家订阅制出版集团，开放获取条款保持不变。
• From October 2022 the whole Hindawi list was suspended for review after misconduct was found in externally organised peer review on guest-edited collections.2022 年 10 月起整个 Hindawi 刊群被暂停以待复查，起因是客座专题合集中发现了外部同行评议造假。
• In 2023 some 19 Hindawi titles were dropped from the Web of Science coverage and four were closed outright by Wiley, while this journal stayed in the Emerging Sources edition.2023 年约 19 本 Hindawi 刊物被 Web of Science 除名、4 本被 Wiley 直接关闭，该刊则留在新兴来源版别之中。
• Wiley announced at the end of 2023 that the Hindawi brand would be retired and its roughly 200 titles folded into Wiley Online Library, a migration carried through 2024.Wiley 在 2023 年底宣布停用 Hindawi 品牌，把旗下约 200 种刊物并入 Wiley Online Library，这场迁移在 2024 年推进。
• The identifier scheme followed that move, articles running as 10.1155 plus the year until 2024 and switching to a shortened journal code from the 2025 volume onward.标识方案跟着迁移改动，文章编号在 2024 年之前是 10.1155 加年份，自 2025 年卷起换成以刊名缩写为段的短式。
• Preservation deposits run to Portico and CLOCKSS and the records carry the Wiley crossmark policy, the standing signs of content held inside a large commercial portfolio.长期保存存缴交给 Portico 与 CLOCKSS，记录上带的是 Wiley 的 Crossmark 政策，这些都是内容被纳入大型商业刊群的常设标志。
• Measured impact moved from 1.4 in 2023 down to 1.1 in 2024 and back to 1.9 in 2025, with a five-year figure of 1.5 and a cited half-life of 7.6 years.影响因子由 2023 年的 1.4 落到 2024 年的 1.1，2025 年回到 1.9，五年值为 1.5，被引半衰期 7.6 年。
• The same report counts eight citable items and 264 recorded citations, a thin yearly flow that still placed the title at Q1 among 345 applied mathematics journals and Q3 among 210 in artificial intelligence.同一报告计有 8 篇可引条目与被引 264 次，这样的年度流量仍让它在应用数学 345 种刊物里排到 Q1、在人工智能 210 种里排到 Q3。
• Publication continues, new papers in the 2026 volume being recorded through October of that year, and the earlier backfile remains openly reachable under the same article identifiers.出版仍在继续，2026 年卷的新文章记录到该年 10 月，往期文库照旧以同样的文章编号开放可及。

Editors

• Peer review runs as single anonymous, the arrangement recorded for the journal in its open access directory entry, with referee identity withheld from authors.评审采单匿名制，这一方式登记在该刊的开放获取目录条目里，审稿人身份对作者保密。
• The same entry gives a publication time of 21 weeks from submission, and the citation record shows papers accepted in 2026 having been received in the second half of 2025.同一目录条目给出的出版周期是投稿之后 21 周，引文记录里 2026 年被接收的文章多在 2025 年下半年投进。
• Every paper carries a named academic editor in its deposit, Ferdinando Di Martino and Antonin Dvorak appearing on work from the 2020s alongside Katsuhiro Honda, Ping-Feng Pai and Bekir Sahin.每篇文章的存缴记录都署有一名学术编辑，2020 年代的工作上可见 Ferdinando Di Martino 与 Antonin Dvorak，另有 Katsuhiro Honda、Ping-Feng Pai、Bekir Sahin。
• Editors recorded on the opening volume include Ajith Abraham and Hao Ying, both already active in the neural and fuzzy research communities of that period.首卷上记录的编辑有 Ajith Abraham 与 Hao Ying，二人在当时已活跃于神经与模糊研究社区。
• Handling sits with those topic editors rather than with a single desk, so a control paper and a decision-making paper can travel separate editorial routes inside one annual volume.处理权在这些按主题分派的编辑手上而非某一个编辑部，同一卷里的控制类论文与决策类论文可走不同的编辑路径。
• Production and final deposit are managed by in-house editorial staff, whose names appear on the released records of recent volumes.成稿与最终存缴由出版方内部的编辑人员管理，近年卷次的发布记录上能看到他们的名字。
• Thematic collections were once assembled by guest editors who proposed a topic and oversaw the reviews of what they solicited, a practice halted across the publisher's list after the 2022 review.专题合集曾由客座编辑组稿，他们提出主题并为自己约来的稿件主持评审，这套做法在 2022 年复查之后于整个刊群停摆。
• Survey submissions are handled alongside original work, which is why the archive keeps supplying overviews of type-2 sets, aggregation operators and fuzzy decision making.综述来稿与原创论文同等受理，文库因此持续产出二型集、聚合算子与模糊决策等主题的概览文章。
• Submitted work passes a similarity check, the directory entry recording plagiarism detection as in use for the title.来稿要过相似度检测，目录条目写明该刊启用抄袭检测。
• Costs sit with authors through a publication charge registered at 1100 US dollars before waiver, and copyright stays with the author under the attribution licence.费用由作者以出版费承担，登记在减免之前的金额为 1100 美元，著作权在署名许可下留在作者手中。
• Papers enter through an online portal reached from the journal's own pages on the publisher platform, where the author guidelines also set out the review and licensing terms.稿件经出版平台该刊页面进入在线投稿门户，作者指南同时在那里列明评审与许可条款。
