Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

IJASS is dedicated to publishing quality manuscripts on all aspects of systemic analysis, from both a practical and an academic viewpoint. It publishes contributions from practitioners and academics, as well as national and international policy and standard making bodies, and sets out to be the definitive international reference source for such information.

 Go Top  Objectives

The mission of IJASS is to develop methodologies based on the laws and rules of various sciences. New designs and functional methodologies are composed for applications in business, operational and social, as well as biological, phenomena. The objectives of IJASS are to spread the science of systems and present the research and application results of its domain. As the science rapidly changes and grows, resources and time become more precious. IJASS provides the very best information and analysis to keep up to date with the latest developments and approaches to other scientific domains, through the application of systems approaches to them.

IJASS aims to:

  • To provide a forum for the exchange of experiences and information of studying the systems and the methodologies, tools and products used to design, measure and achieve it.
  • To promote awareness of the crucial role of systems studies in the effective construction of the information systems developed, used, and/or maintained by organizations in pursuit of their business objectives. To provide a vehicle for the publication of academic papers related to all aspects of soft and hard system approaches.

 Go Top  Readership

The readership of IJASS consists of academics, systems managers, computer scientists, information scientists, and researchers in applied system theory, as well as those involved in management, operations and political and social sciences in different scientific disciplines i.e. universities, consulting firms, enterprises and industries.

 Go Top  Contents

IJASS publishes original work of an applied nature that significantly contributes to systems approaches. The journal also publishes book reviews and special issues devoted to important topics of systemic nature. For special issues, IJASS accepts proposals on specific application domains of systems sciences, especially on emerging topics having focus on real systems or simulations based on representative traces from real systems. Review papers and technical reports will also be accepted.
