MCRF的目標是發表關于數學控制理論和相關領域的原創研究和解釋性論文。其目的是為這一領域的數學方法和結果提供一個完整和可靠的來源。如微分方程、泛函分析、概率論與隨機分析、逆問題、最優化、數值計算、數學金融學、信息論、博弈論、系統論等相關領域的論文，只要與控制理論有一定的內在聯系，均可接受。

MCRF aims to publish original research as well as expository papers on mathematical control theory and related fields. The goal is to provide a complete and reliable source of mathematical methods and results in this field. The journal will also accept papers from some related fields such as differential equations, functional analysis, probability theory and stochastic analysis, inverse problems, optimization, numerical computation, mathematical finance, information theory, game theory, system theory, etc., provided that they have some intrinsic connections with control theory.
