Aims and Scope
Automatica is a leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field encompasses today a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics. Since its inception in 1963, Automatica has kept abreast with the evolution of the field over the years, and has emerged as a leading publication driving the trends in the field.

After being founded in 1963, Automatica became a journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 1969. It features a characteristic blend of theoretical and applied papers of archival, lasting value, reporting cutting edge research results by authors across the globe. It features articles in distinct categories, including regular, brief and survey papers, technical communiqués, correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books of interest to the readership. It occasionally publishes special issues on emerging new topics or established mature topics of interest to a broad audience.

Automatica solicits original high-quality contributions in all the categories listed above, and in all areas of systems and control interpreted in a broad sense and evolving constantly. They may be submitted directly to a subject editor or to the Editor-in-Chief if not sure about the subject area. Editorial procedures in place assure careful, fair, and prompt handling of all submitted articles. Accepted papers appear in the journal in the shortest time feasible given production time constraints.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
Every time, there is a review once every three months. I feel that some experts in the field of height excessively emphasize mathematical nature, purely emphasizing that the reasoning and assumptions of mathematical formulas must satisfy mathematical concepts, lacking recognition of the basic hardware system, and having a significant disconnect from the actual system. It is also unknown whether this is good or bad. For example, for vehicle systems, you cannot assume that their speed of motion has an upper limit because if you make such an assumption, it means the theory is incorrect and not rigorous.

I strongly suggest that some of my theoretical colleagues take a good look at your "rigorous assumptions" systems and then look at your "exquisite and accurate" controllers, and think about what these controllers are useful for? Apart from demonstrating superiority in simulations, what can they actually do in practice?

On April 11, 2022, temporarily rejected and resubmitted a long article.
On August 7, 2022, temporarily rejected and resubmitted a long article.
On January 9, 2023, accepted (long article), totaling 14 months.
There were two reviewers, one recommended acceptance in the first review, while the other was more strict in terms of writing. After repeatedly revising based on the reviewers' suggestions, it was finally accepted. Due to excessive modifications, it exceeded the 17-page limit and had to be trimmed down a bit.
