How Experts in Higher Education Level Evaluate Journals on Fuzzy and Intelligent Systems?

The purpose of the current study is to develop a ranking of journals in fuzzy and intelligent systems upon the view of the experts of higher education level and then investigate the influential factors for their journal selection for reading and manuscript submission. The survey has been carried out based on the response of a sample of active experts. The main finding is that the researchers read the articles of journals more for the research oriented activities rather than the supplement to the teaching material. They also give merit to the journals for the quality of the peer review, the paper charge, impact factor, and the subject of the journal more than the other factors. The results will be beneficial to the researchers and students to know where to seek the high qualified articles and the administration of the research institutes for the effective evaluation and resource allocation.
