IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems Information for Authors

The IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems publishes high-quality papers on systems with interconnected components.The journal is primarily interested in problems related to the control of network systems but is also open to contributions concerning their design, study, engineering, optimization, and emerging behavior as these can inform and guide design and control.The Transactions invites rigorous methodological/theory papers on network systems and application papers that have a significant degree of modeling or methodological novelty in some application area of network systems.Application areas are many, spanning engineered systems, social science, economics, and biological systems.The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A).Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-anonymous peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors.Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced open access APCs.
