《動態系統測量與控制雜志》在其名稱所隱含的傳統領域發表理論和應用原著，并在跨學科領域發表論文。理論論文應為動力系統控制提供新的理論發展和知識，并為新理論提供明確的工程動機。新的理論或結果，只有數學上的興趣，沒有明確的工程動機或只有粗略的相關性，是不鼓勵的。”“應用”被理解為包括建模、仿真現實系統，以及強調證明實用性的理論證明。

The Journal of Dynamic Systems Measurement and Control publishes theoretical and applied original papers in the traditional areas implied by its name, as well as papers in interdisciplinary areas. Theoretical papers should present new theoretical developments and knowledge for controls of dynamical systems together with clear engineering motivation for the new theory. New theory or results that are only of mathematical interest without a clear engineering motivation or have a cursory relevance only are discouraged. "Application" is understood to include modeling, simulation of realistic systems, and corroboration of theory with emphasis on demonstrated practicality.
