3-18 submission, the results are unknown now, it has been 4 months already, and I'm thinking if the rejection could be faster too.

It has been one month since the submission, and we are still in the stage of inviting reviewers. Is this reasonable?

I always think that this journal publishes higher quality papers than IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (TEC or TEVC). I have submitted papers to these two journals more than ten years ago. At that time, I felt that the review at this journal was more rigorous than at TEC, and the comments were more objective. I have published in TEC since many years ago, but this journal has always rejected my paper. Many of TEC's papers don’t seem that good, even though journal’s IF has risen a lot. Reading papers in TEC, I don't feel they make significant contributions. Nothing novel either. But this EC journal has always maintained its high quality, which is commendable.

Feeling is still a bit difficult, the reviewers are more professional, and there are many comments on the review, which is of great help to the improvement of the quality of the paper.

This journal is listed as IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary ComputationThe main journal in evolutionary computing.The editorial board is basically European and American scholars, and the review is fairer than IEEE TEVC.If you feel that the work of the paper is valuable, the editor will make the author change to satisfaction.Even if IEEE TEVC makes the revision, the reviewer will ask the new question and reject the paper in the second round of review.The main reason why EC's impact factor is lower than IEEE TEVC is that many schools in MIT do not purchase the database. Unlike the IEEE database, almost every major university has purchased it. Therefore, IEEE TEVC has more readers and more references.But it does not mean that IEEE TEVC

is an authoritative publication on evolutionary computing. It was founded in 1993, four years earlier than IEEE TEVC, and adheres to the quarterly journal. There are only four or five papers in each issue, and the impact factor is better than IEEE.TEVC is low, but the authority is not worse than IEEETEVC. The review is very formal and strict.
