    International Transactions on Evolutionary and Metaheuristic Algorithms (ITEMA) is a peer-reviewed open-access publication of its kind that aims at reporting the most recent research and developments in the area of bio-inspired intelligent computation based on the principles of evolutionary and metaheuristic algorithms. It publishes advanced, innovative and interdisciplinary research involving the theoretical, experimental and practical aspects of the two paradigms and their hybridizations. ITEMA is committed to timely publication of very high-quality, peer-reviewed, original articles that advance the state-of-the art of all aspects of evolutionary computation and metaheuristics. Survey papers reviewing the state-of-the-art of timely topics will also be welcomed as well as novel and interesting applications.

For Any Submissions:

The authors should submit their manuscripts to the Editor-in-Chief via the ICSES Manuscript Management System (IMMS). Every submitted manuscript should consist of the following Parts:

Part I: The first page of the submission should be a Cover Letter containing the manuscript Title, Abstract, Keywords, Main Subject, Corresponding and other Authors with their Affiliations, a statement demonstrating that the submitted manuscript is not submitted “Elsewhere at the same time,” and all the Authors agree to this submission. For convenience, you can use the following ICSES-CoverLetter-Template.docx.

Part II: At least 3 up to 5 Highlights and Novelties should be presented in the Second Page using ICSES-Highlights-Template.docx.

Part III: The manuscript body consist of the following:

• Manuscript Title
• Authors (The first Author is automatically considered as Corresponding Author)
• Affiliations
• Abstract (Max. 2048 Characters)
• Keywords (3 up to 7 Keywords - Max. 512 Characters)
• Introduction
• Related Works (In Chronological Order)
• Problem Formulation (Using Mathematics and Some Description)
• Proposed Approach (Using Algorithm in Pseudo-Code, Flowchart, and Some Pictures)
• Experiment Study (The Configuration of Proposed Approach and Others)
• Results Analytics (Using Charts and Diagrams)
• Conclusion
• Acknowledgement, Grants & Supports
• References (IEEE format with DOI address)
• Photo and Short Biography of each Author

Figures, Tables, and Equations:

All the Diagrams, Charts, and Tables should be made using Microsoft Office Tools (such as Word, Visio, Excel, etc.), and all the other Pictures should be in 300dpi resolution. We encourage Authors to use “Colorful” Diagrams, Charts, and Pictures, while the body of Tables may be “Light Grey.” Besides, all the equations should be made using standard tools like Microsoft Word Built-In “Equation Editor,” or “MathType.”

These specifications for Figures, Tables, and Equations are mandatory for any submission so that any violation of them will result in an “Immediate Rejection” in the review process.

Extended Versions From Conferences:

Currently, extended versions of manuscripts previously published in the featured Conferences are welcome; however, the submitted manuscripts should have the following properties:

• At least 40% extra material specially in the Experiments and Results.
• A paragraph in the Introduction Section should explain the differences as well as How, Where and Why these differences have been applied to this new Manuscript.
• The previously published paper in the Conference should exist in the References Section, and be Cited in the aforementioned paragraph.

Reviewing Process:

All the submitted articles should report original, previously unpublished research results, experimental or theoretical, and will be peer-reviewed. Articles submitted to the journal should meet these criteria and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Publishing papers in the ICSES Transactions is currently free of charge, and we have adopted the SCOPUS and ISI-WoS policy, and go toward indexing in these Academic Databases. Hence, only the high-quality papers have chance to be accepted; however, our strategy is to mature submitted papers fallen within our standards with some rounds of Revising. Today, the first editorial decision and total publishing process last about 3 and 9 months, respectively. However, the accepted papers will be published on-line as soon as with the final decision.

Paper Length and Extra Page Charge:

• Original Full-Length Papers: All the original full-length papers should be 10 pages in two-column style; however, significant submissions ranging from 8 to 14 pages are considered but with a charge for every Extra Page.
• Review Articles: The Review articles should be 14 pages in two-column style; however, significant submissions ranging from 10 to 18 pages are welcome but with a charge for every Extra Page.
• Short Letters: The Short Letters should be 5 pages in two-column style; however, significant submissions ranging from 4 to 7 pages are welcome but with a charge for every Extra Page.
• Conference Papers: The Conference Papers should be 6 pages in two-column style; however, significant submissions ranging from 5 to 8 pages are welcome but with a charge for every Extra Page.
• Special Issues or Book Chapters: Manuscripts for Special Issues or Book Chapters have no restriction in pages; however, they should be in range of 10 up to 14 in order not to subjected Extra Page Charge
• Others: Other kinds of letters and papers have no restriction in pages, and it is up to the journal's Editor-in-Chief.
• Extra Page Charge: The Extra Page Charge is mandatory to be paid with no exception from the first 2019 as the following:
  

  20$

  For each extra or deficient page

  Mandatory to be paid from the first 2019

After Acceptance:

The accepted manuscripts must follow the style of the journal in order to be published. The mandatory journal-template is in the following. Moreover, a copyright form signed by all the authors are needed before the manuscript goes published.

• ICSES-Journal-Template.doc
• ICSES-Journal-Template.pdf
• ICSES-Copyright-Form.pdf

Currently, ORCID is mandatory for all the Authors of the accepted Manuscripts.

Anti-Plagiarism Policy:

We are using Plag©Scan against plagiarism. The maximum acceptable similarity with other published papers is below 15%; however, we strongly suggest that the similarity should be below 10%. All the corresponding authors of accepted papers should check their accepted versions using Plag©Scan, and send us the report in order to publish their papers.

Article Processing Charge:

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for this journal is as follows; however, some Special Issues and Book Projects may have arbitrary APC based on the leading guest-Editor.

0$

Article Processing Charge

Mandatory to be paid only for the accepted papers to be published.

Extra Services for the Authors (Optional):
