Information for Authors
Aim and Scope
The International Journal of Fuzzy Systems (IJFS) is an official journal of Taiwan Fuzzy Systems
Association (TFSA) and is published quarterly. IJFS will consider high quality papers that deal with
the theory, design, and application of fuzzy systems, soft computing systems, grey systems, and
extension theory systems ranging from hardware to software. Survey and expository submissions are also welcome.
Submission of a manuscript should indicate that it has been neither published, nor copyrighted, submitted,
accepted for publication elsewhere (except that the short version may have been presented at the conferences).
Submitted manuscripts must be typewritten in English and as concise as possible.

Process for Submission of a Manuscript
IJFS publishes two types of articles: papers and technical notes. All contributions are handled in the same procedure.
Each submission will be solicited for three reviews.
All manuscripts should be submitted electronically in Portable Document Format (PDF) through the manuscript submission system at http://www.ijfs.org.tw.
The fast process is guaranteed to notify the authors with the final result in three months.
The corresponding author will be responsible for making page proof and
signing off for printing on behalf of other co-authors.
Upon acceptance of a paper, authors will be requested to supply their
biographies (100 to 200 words) and to email the final version of their
manuscript in DOC format to the Managing Editor.

Style for Manuscript
Papers should be arranged in the following order of presentation:
First page must contain: a) Title of Paper (without Symbols), b) Author(s) and affiliation(s), c) Abstract (not exceeding 150 words for Papers or 75 words for Technical Note, and without equations, references, or footnotes), d) 4-6 suggested keywords, e) Complete mailing address, email address, and if available, facsimile (fax) number of each author, f) Preferred address for correspondence and return of proofs, and g) Footnotes (if desired).
The text: Submitted manuscripts must be typewritten double-spaced. All submitted manuscripts should be as concise as possible. Regular papers are normally limited to 26 double-spaced, typed pages, and technical notes are 12 double-spaced, typed pages. Please see the Page charge for those who want to submit long papers.
Acknowledgements of financial or other support (if any).
References: References should be numbered and appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper.
Use numerals in square brackets to cite references, e.g., [15]. References should be complete and in the style as follows.

pp.404-418, 1990.

Tables
Captions of figures (on separate sheet of paper)
Style for Illustrations
It is in the author's interest to submit professional quality illustrations. Drafting or art service cannot be provided by the Publisher.
Original drawings should be in black ink on white background. Maximum size is restricted to 17.4 by 24.7 cm. Glossy prints of illustrations are also acceptable.
All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction of the figure to column width, sometimes as small as one quarter of the original size. Typed lettering is usually not acceptable on figures.
Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., "Fig. 5. The error for the fuzzy controller."
Illustrations should not be sent until requested, but authors should be ready to submit these immediately upon acceptance for publication.

Page Charges
1. US$ 50 (NT$ 1500) for the 10 printed pages of full paper or for the 6 printed pages of short paper, and the excess page charge of US$ 50 (NT$ 1500) per printed page for both full and short papers.
2. For color figures or tables, an additional cost will be charged. The cost, depending on the number of color figures/tables and the final editing result, will be given upon the acceptance of this paper for publication.
