Automatica first appeared in 1963 and became a journal of
IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic Control, in 1968. It is one
of the world's leading scientific journals in the field of automatic
control, with 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, survey, and position papers, technical communiqués (as rapid
publications), correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books
and new software of interest to the readership.
IFAC is a federation of national member organizations, and hence has no individual members. For this reason, a subscription to Automatica is not linked to membership of IFAC. Individuals may subscribe to Automatica at a reduced rate but only if the library at their university or employer subscribes to Automatica. Automatica is interested in papers in all areas of automatic control, interpreted in a broad sense. They may be submitted directly to the subject editors as described in the information for authors.
