History

• Elsevier launched the journal in 2019 as a fully open access title, with volumes 1 and 2 carrying the opening editorial Opening up computer science（Elsevier）于 2019 年推出这本完全开放获取的期刊，第 1 至 2 卷刊载了开篇社论（Opening up computer science）。^[1]
• The founding Editor-in-Chief was Thierry Denoeux of the Universite de Technologie de Compiegne in France, a specialist in evidential reasoning and uncertainty modelling创刊主编为法国（Universite de Technologie de Compiegne）的 Thierry Denoeux，专长证据推理与不确定性建模。
• The journal publishes four volumes a year and numbers every article continuously, so accepted papers appear without waiting for an issue to close期刊每年出版四卷，文章编号连续编排，因而录用论文无需等待整期组稿即可上线。
• Output has grown steadily, from a few dozen papers at launch to more than 200 articles in 2025发文量稳步增长，从创刊时的数十篇增至 2025 年的两百余篇。
• Its Journal Impact Factor rose from 4.5 in 2024 to 5.3 in 2025, placing it in the first quartile of computer science, theory and methods within the Emerging Sources Citation Index影响因子由 2024 年的 4.5 升至 2025 年的 5.3，在（Emerging Sources Citation Index）的计算机理论方法类别中位列第一四分位。
• Publication is funded by an article publishing charge of USD 2,250 under a CC BY licence, and the journal is listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals出版由 2250 美元的论文处理费支撑，采用（CC BY）许可，并被（Directory of Open Access Journals）收录。
