History

• The journal was founded in 1986 and published quarterly by John Wiley and Sons in its early years, and its inaugural editorial was written by Ronald R. Yager of the Machine Intelligence Institute at Iona College in New York该刊创办于 1986 年，早期由（John Wiley & Sons）按季刊出版，创刊社论由纽约爱奥纳学院机器智能研究所的 Ronald R. Yager 撰写。^[1]
• That editorial set out a program spanning knowledge representation and manipulation, machine learning and knowledge acquisition, natural language understanding, machine vision, expert and knowledge-based systems, intelligent control of search, and the management of uncertainty, while balancing theory and application该社论确立了涵盖知识表示与操作、机器学习与知识获取、自然语言理解、机器视觉、专家与知识系统、搜索的智能控制以及不确定性管理的办刊纲领，并兼顾理论与应用。
• From its quarterly beginnings the journal grew into a monthly title, and it long operated as a subscription journal before opening up该刊由季刊逐步发展为月刊，并在开放化之前长期按订阅制运营。
• As of January 1, 2023, all articles accepted and published in the journal are fully open access, immediately free to read, download, and share, subject to an article publication charge, while content published before 2023 remains paywalled自 2023 年 1 月 1 日起，该刊接受并发表的全部文章均为完全开放获取，可即时免费阅读、下载与分享，作者需缴纳文章处理费，2023 年以前发表的内容仍为付费内容。
• The journal subsequently moved onto the Hindawi publishing line of Wiley, and articles now appear under the 10.1155 digital object identifier prefix with volume numbers matching the publication year该刊此后转入（Wiley）旗下 Hindawi 出版线，文章现以 10.1155 数字对象标识符前缀发表，卷号与出版年份一致。
• Its Journal Impact Factor stood at 8.709 in 2021 and 8.993 in 2022 before settling to 3.7 in 2024 and 4.8 in 2025, and its 2025 Scopus CiteScore reached 12.6其期刊影响因子 2021 年为 8.709、2022 年为 8.993，2024 年为 3.7，2025 年为 4.8，2025 年 Scopus CiteScore 达 12.6。
