Aims and Scope
IET Control Theory & Applications is devoted to control systems in the broadest sense, covering new theoretical results and the applications of new and established control methods. Among the topics of interest are system modelling, identification and simulation, the analysis and design of control systems (including computer-aided design), and practical implementation. The scope encompasses technological, economic, physiological (biomedical) and other systems, including man-machine interfaces.

Most of the papers published deal with original work from industrial and government laboratories and universities, but subject reviews and tutorial expositions of current methods are welcomed. Correspondence discussing published papers is also welcomed.

Applications papers need not necessarily involve new theory. Papers which describe new realisations of established methods, or control techniques applied in a novel situation, or practical studies which compare various designs, would be of interest. Of particular value are theoretical papers which discuss the applicability of new work or applications which engender new theoretical applications.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
I submitted the article on November 20, 2022, and it was accepted on June 3, 2023. It went through two major revisions and one minor revision, taking approximately over six months. Overall, although IET CTA is open-source, the control over article quality has not decreased, and the review speed has not improved. The reviewers' suggestions were also very professional. After making minor revisions in the second review, I went through another major revision. If you are eager to graduate and want to submit to this journal, you should be cautious.
