Aim and Scope

 The journal MCSS publishes original research papers concerned with mathematically rigorous, system theoretic aspects of control and signal processing.

To maintain the highest possible standards of quality, and based on a goal of timely publication, only a small fraction of submitted papers can be expected to be accepted. The journal strives for a fast turnaround in the review process. Papers are assigned to an Associate Editor, who makes a publication recommendation on the basis of a detailed and careful evaluation by at least two referees. Evaluation criteria used include originality, substance, and quality of exposition.

For additional information see the separate page Aim and Scope; Editorial Board.

Instructions to Authors

A typical paper submitted to MCSS consists of about 20 pages of LaTeX in 11 points article style with a maximum of 25 of such pages, 50 double-spaced typewritten pages, or an equivalent. If a paper is longer than the maximum number of pages then the authors are requested to provide a justification for the added length in their cover letter. Associate Editors and reviewers are instructed to pay careful attention to conciseness as an important characteristic of good mathematical exposition.

For further information see the page Instructions to Authors or any recent number of the journal.

Submit all manuscripts to:

If the author is willing to submit a PostScript file of the paper for the review process then only one printed copy of the paper needs to be submitted; else five copies must be submitted. Do not send initial submissions by email.

Receipt of the paper will be acknowledged by letter. The correspondence between Editors, Associate Editors, and reviewers will be handled by email as much as possible. For this purpose the correspondent author will be contacted by email with the request to make the PostScript file of the paper available for the review process.

Inquiries about papers under review should also be directed at this address.
(No submissions should be sent elsewhere - this is the only address to be used.)

Review Guidelines

As a service to authors the MCSS Review Guidelines with a check list are available as a web page.
