Journal overview

Systems Science & Control Engineering is a dynamic and inclusive open-access journal dedicated to advancing the knowledge, practice, and applications of systems science and control engineering. The journal is committed to promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and welcomes contributions from researchers, engineers, and practitioners across various domains. Our aim is to provide a platform for disseminating high-quality research that addresses complex challenges and innovative solutions in these fields.

Systems Science & Control Engineering accepts a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:

   Exploring the integration of AI and machine learning techniques in control systems, decision-making processes, and automation.

2. Complex Systems and Complex Networks:

   Investigating the dynamics, behaviour, and modelling of complex systems and networks in various domains, such as social networks, transportation, and ecological systems.

3. Control Theory and Control Applications:

   Advancing the theory and practice of control systems in applications like robotics, process control, aerospace, and mechatronics.

4. Cybernetics and Feedback Systems:

   Studying feedback mechanisms and their role in regulating and optimizing systems, including applications in self-regulating machines and biological systems.

5. Dynamical Systems Theory:   

   Exploring the behaviour of dynamic systems, chaos theory, stability analysis, and bifurcation theory.

6. Operations Research:

   Addressing optimization problems, logistics, supply chain management, and decision-making processes using mathematical modelling and operational research techniques.

7. Systems Biology and Systems Ecology:

   Investigating the behaviour and interactions of biological and ecological systems, including modelling of ecosystems and the study of biological networks.

8. Systems Engineering:

   Focusing on the design, integration, and management of complex systems, emphasizing the systems engineering lifecycle.

9. Systems Psychology:

   Applying systems thinking to psychology and human behaviour, including modelling of cognitive processes and decision-making.

10. Systems Theory and Interdisciplinary Applications:

   Encouraging research that bridges the gap between theory and practical applications in diverse fields, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

The journal operates a rigorous single-anonymized peer review policy, ensuring the highest quality of published work. Authors can expect fair and constructive feedback from expert reviewers in the field. 

All articles in Systems Science & Control Engineering are freely and permanently available online through  gold open access publication. We aim to facilitate the widespread dissemination of knowledge and foster collaboration within the global scientific community.

We welcome researchers, practitioners, and scholars from diverse backgrounds to contribute their expertise and innovative research to Systems Science & Control Engineering. Together, we strive to advance the frontiers of systems science and control engineering, driving innovation and addressing complex challenges in our rapidly evolving world.
