May I ask if this journal charges a fee?

It will take some time. The exam number for my online exam in October 2020 will only be assigned in May or June 2022.

May I ask why Optimization has been online for almost a year but has not yet assigned issue numbers?

May I ask, how long does it usually take for the document to be sent for external review, and how long does the external review usually take?

First: j. inequ. appl., j. appl. math., j. fixed point theo. appl. These journals are considered spam because of their fast review process, high acceptance rate, open access, and even charging fees. Is a journal like OPTIMIZATION both open access and charging fees? Can one get accepted with just one submission?

Second: Please check the level of the editorial board of this journal.

Third: This journal has published many classic results, such as an article on nonlinear bilevel programming problems in 1995, which has been cited by top journals such as SIAM JCO, SIAM JO, TAC, JGO, Math comp.

If the above three points cannot convince you, I can only doubt you and the two professors...

I seriously suspect whether you intentionally want to criticize this magazine. If you have published articles in J. inequ. appl., J. appl. math., and J. fixed point theo. appl., does that mean you cannot publish articles in optimization? Following your logic, if you have published articles in the school newspaper, does that mean you cannot publish articles in SIAM JCO? There is some water in your argument, which is unavoidable. Also, look at the level of the editorial board of this magazine. Even someone like D. Aussel from France, who is highly regarded in SIAM OP, is associated with it. If you think this magazine is not good, would these talented scholars become editors?

Some garbage articles don't know how to be published.

The journal is really bad, some of the papers are so trash that they can't be read!

This journal is very mediocre. The Mathematics Department of the Civil Aviation University of China has two professors who almost exclusively publish in paid journals, but recently they suddenly published several articles in OPTIMIZATION. Can this journal be good? I want to clarify that I am not criticizing this journal because I never submit to this kind of journal.

Is your comment serious? As far as I know, there are several teachers in the Mathematics Department of the Civil Aviation University of China who have been publishing in almost garbage fee-charging journals such as J. Inequ. Appl., J. Appl. Math. AA. Fixed point theo. Appl., etc. But recently, they have suddenly published a few articles in OPTIMIZATION. Can this journal be good???

The Mathematics Department of Civil Aviation University of China has two teachers who almost exclusively publish in paid magazines, but recently they have suddenly published several articles in "OPTIMIZATION." Can this magazine be any good???

Can this also be considered a good magazine? Isn't it rubbish? There are two teachers at the Civil Aviation University of China who almost only publish paid magazines, but recently they suddenly published a few articles in OPTIMIZATION. Can this magazine be good?

Magazines also have an advantage. After submitting a contribution, non-corresponding authors will receive an email and can apply for an account through a link to track the reviewing progress. This is extremely student-friendly as it allows them to know at which stage their paper is being reviewed. Although it may not have much practical use, being able to check the progress at any time helps students feel reassured.

Magazine evaluation: For students, this magazine is very good and not easy to get published in. In my opinion, it is probably slightly lower than ORL, Annals OR, and similar to Opt L. Some experts have published papers in this magazine in the past, but there have been very few recently. For professors from universities ranked 211 and above, this magazine is considered average.

Submission experience:
4 months and 10 days for initial revision
2 months and 1 week for our revision
Less than 4 months for second revision
Less than 2 months for further revision
Accepted after one month
From submission to acceptance, it took a total of about 1 year and 1 month, which can be considered relatively smooth. There was a message every 4 months on average during this time. Shortly after, it went online, and a few months later, the issue was published. This period of time was very fast.

A well-established magazine in the field of optimization. The articles I have read about optimization are quite good. If I were to compare, they would be presentable. Perhaps it is the articles in other areas that are not as good, which prevents this magazine from being considered a top-tier publication. Overall, I would say that this magazine's status is equivalent to the INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CONTROL in the field of control.

The field of operations research and optimization has excellent magazines, with most articles of high quality. However, there are also a small number of impurities.

The journal is good. The reviewers were very responsible, and raised many very professional opinions, which were very helpful to improve the readability of the paper.

3 months after the submission, major revision was given. The revised manuscript was submitted in 5 days. And 3 months later, it was accepted. In took 6 months in total, and I feel it was very efficient. The editor was responsible, and the revision comments raised were pertinent.

The levels of the manuscripts are uneven. You can see articles from experts here, such as Stephen Boyd, and you can also see that some young teachers in North America put this journal's articles in selected publications on their homepages. In the direction of control and optimization, it may have a high level. In other directions, I have seen very valueless articles.
