International Journal of General Systems

期刊简介：International Journal of General Systems is a periodical devoted primarily to the publication of original research contributions to system science, basic as well as applied. However, relevant survey articles, invited book reviews, bibliographies, and letters to the editor are also published.The principal aim of the journal is to promote original systems ideas (concepts, principles, methods, theoretical or experimental results, etc.) that are broadly applicable to various kinds of systems. The term “general system” in the name of the journal is intended to indicate this aim–the orientation to systems ideas that have a general applicability. Typical subject areas covered by the journal include: uncertainty and randomness; fuzziness and imprecision; information; complexity; inductive and deductive reasoning about systems; learning; systems analysis and design; and theoretical as well as experimental knowledge regarding various categories of systems. Submitted research must be well presented and must clearly state the contribution and novelty. Manuscripts dealing with particular kinds of systems which lack general applicability across a broad range of systems should be sent to journals specializing in the respective topics.

【译文】《国际系统杂志》是一本主要致力于发表系统科学原创研究贡献的期刊，包括基础和应用方面的研究。此外，还发表相关综述文章、邀请书评、书目和编辑信件。该期刊的主要目的是推广具有广泛适用性的原创系统理念（概念、原理、方法、理论或实验结果等）。杂志名称中的“通用系统”一词旨在表明这一目标——对具有普遍适用性的系统理念的导向。该期刊涵盖的典型主题领域包括：不确定性和随机性；模糊性和不精确性；信息；复杂性；关于系统的归纳和演绎推理；学习；系统分析和设计；以及关于各种系统类别的理论知识和实验知识。提交的研究必须表述良好，并清楚地陈述贡献和新颖性。处理特定类型系统的研究，这些系统在广泛系统范围内缺乏普遍适用性，应发送至专注于相应主题的期刊。
