系統(tǒng)研究和行為科學通過出版關于系統(tǒng)理論、方法和應用的高質量原創(chuàng)文章，為國際系統(tǒng)研究者和實踐者以及所有對系統(tǒng)思想感興趣的人提供服務。它包含了系統(tǒng)運動的所有部分，包括一般系統(tǒng)理論、控制論、自模擬、復雜性理論、系統(tǒng)工程、精益系統(tǒng)、系統(tǒng)動力學、軟系統(tǒng)思維和關鍵系統(tǒng)思維。它的范圍也很全面，涵蓋了物理科學、生物學、家庭治療、商業(yè)和管理、項目管理、信息系統(tǒng)、社區(qū)研究、社會政策、治理、農業(yè)和環(huán)境中的系統(tǒng)方法。然而，編輯們特別歡迎那些在專門研究某一學科的期刊上沒有發(fā)現的具有廣泛跨學科含義的論文。

Systems Research and Behavioral Science serves the international community of systems researchers and practitioners, and all those interested in systems ideas, by publishing high-quality, original articles on systems theories, methodologies and applications. It embraces all strands of the systems movement; including general system theory, cybernetics, autopoiesis, complexity theory, systems engineering, lean systems, system dynamics, soft systems thinking and critical systems thinking. Its scope is also comprehensive, covering systems approaches in the physical sciences, biology, family therapy, business and management, project management, information systems, community studies, social policy, governance, agriculture and the environment. However, the editors particularly welcome papers with broad transdisciplinary implications not found in journals devoted to a single discipline.
