# Automatica (automatica)

## Journal positioning

Automatica is the IFAC-affiliated flagship journal of systems and control,
publishing rigorous, methodologically developed contributions across control,
estimation, identification, optimization, and the analysis of dynamical systems.
The defining expectation is a **method with theoretical guarantees** — stability,
convergence, optimality, robustness — developed with enough breadth and depth to
constitute an archival advance, not a single narrow result. Compared with its
sibling `ieee-transactions-on-automatic-control`, Automatica leans toward fuller
methodological development and breadth, whereas TAC also carries sharp short
Technical Notes; route by the **form and length of the main result**. Application
papers that tune a known controller, and simulation studies with no
