History

• The first volume of the title appeared in 1997, published from Amsterdam by IOS Press, and the run of volumes has continued without a break to volume 29 in 2025.该刊的首卷于 1997 年出版，由阿姆斯特丹的 IOS Press 刊行，卷号自此未曾中断，2025 年已出至第 29 卷。

• The early schedule was bimonthly, as the bibliographic record of the title notes, and four issues a year had been reached by the time volume 8 came out in 2004.早期的刊期为双月刊，该刊的文献目录记录对此有说明，而到 2004 年第 8 卷问世时，每年四期的安排已经形成。

• Volume 8 issue 1 of 2004 is the earliest part of the run deposited with Crossref, and its articles carry the prefix 10.3233 that the Amsterdam publisher used.2004 年的第 8 卷第 1 期是这批卷次中最早存入 Crossref 的部分，其论文带有阿姆斯特丹出版方所用的 10.3233 前缀。

• Those early issues carry guest editorials and themed special issues, among them a number on soft computing and its applications to electronic business in the last issue of that volume.那些早期各期刊有客座社论与专题专刊，第 8 卷最后一期便是以软计算及其在电子商务中的应用为题的专号。^[1]

• The publisher named on the articles of that period is the one that now stands behind the title, and the deposit has been rewritten so that the publisher field reads the same for the IOS Press years as for the present ones.那一时期论文上所记的出版方，正是如今支撑该刊的一方，而存档信息已被改写，使出版方一栏在 IOS Press 时期与当下读起来并无二致。

• Recent volumes carry a different prefix, 10.1177 with the printed number worked into the suffix, and the directory of the Bavarian State Library records the title as published at SAGE from 2025.近年各卷采用另一个前缀，为 10.1177 并在后段嵌入印刷版刊号，巴伐利亚州立图书馆的电子期刊目录则记载该刊自 2025 年起在 SAGE 出版。

• The catalogue record of the title names the place of publication as Amsterdam and the country as the Netherlands, and the number of the serial was registered there in the first instance.该刊的目录记录把出版地写作阿姆斯特丹，国家写作荷兰，连续出版物号当初也登记在这个国家。

• Both numbers have stayed with the title through the change of publisher, the printed number 1327-2314 and the electronic number 1875-8827, and neither of them has been retired.出版方更替之后，两个刊号仍旧留在该刊名下，印刷版为 1327-2314，电子版为 1875-8827，两者都未停用。

• The German directory records the first full text issue at volume 8 issue 1 of 2004, which shows how much of the earlier run exists only in print.德国那份目录把最早可全文获取的一期记为 2004 年的第 8 卷第 1 期，可见更早的部分有多少只以纸质形态存在。

• The journal now appears in the Emerging Sources Citation Index, and the citation report for 2025 gives it an impact factor of 1.3 with a five year figure of 0.9.该刊如今被新兴科学引文索引收录，2025 年版引证报告给出的影响因子为 1.3，五年指标为 0.9。

• That indicator has travelled over the three reported years, reading 0.6 in 2023, 1.5 in 2024 and 1.3 in 2025, and the category rank has stayed in the fourth quartile.这一指标在所报的三年里有所起落，2023 年为 0.6，2024 年为 1.5，2025 年为 1.3，类目位次始终留在第四区。

• The journal contributes about twenty-five papers a year to the literature of its field, and the gold share of its output stands at zero, the articles being available to subscribers.该刊每年在这一领域的文献中贡献约二十五篇论文，其中金色开放获取的比例为 0，文章由订阅者取得。

• The publisher's own page gives the current volume and issue, which are 29 and 4 for the year 2025, and the title is offered to libraries on the SAGE platform.出版方自己的刊页给出当前卷次与期数，2025 年的第 29 卷出至第 4 期，该刊在 SAGE 平台上向各图书馆提供。
