Kybernetes | New "Aims and Scope" (Scopus Q1/Q2)

  • 1.  Kybernetes | New "Aims and Scope" (Scopus Q1/Q2)

    Professor Augusto Sales and I am happy to announce that the new mission statement of Kybernetes is live on the journal's website now. 
    "Rooted in second-order cybernetics, Kybernetes investigates how social, psychic, organic, and technological systems observe, decide, and interrelate. Embracing Heinz von Foerster's ethical imperative "to increase the total number of choices", the journal promotes systemic inquiry into the manifold forms of organised complexity and the challenges of engaging, understanding, and managing them.
    The journal places particular emphasis on conceptual rigour, systematic self-implication, and theoretical relevance. Within the broader traditions of cybernetics and systems thinking, Kybernetes particularly welcomes theoretical and conceptual manuscripts. The journal leans towards abductive and inductive inference and values original and innovative research designs - including "theory-as-method" approaches - especially as applied across the following research fields and disciplines …", which include, among others, social sciences, social theory, management and organisation studies, economics, and information systems.
