Overview
General Systems has been the first journal of the Society for General Systems Research published independently until the 1980s. Eversince it has been published as one of the items of the Systems Research and Behavioral Science. The journal started as a selecting of publications by several of the "foundational authors of the systems sciences",[1] and contains some of the classic works in the field of systems theory,[2] such as:
- Ludwig von Bertalanffy, "General Systems Theory," in General Systems Yearbook 1 (1956),
- Kenneth Boulding, "General Systems Theory -- The Skeleton of Science," General Systems Yearbook, I (1956), pp. 11–17.
- W. Ross Ashby, "General systems theory as a new discipline," General Systems Yearbook, 3, (1958).
- Charles A. McClelland, "Systems and History in International Relations," General Systems Yearbook, III (1958).
The General Systems Yearbook also contains examples of the third kind of general systems activity — creating new laws and refining old.[3]
In 1998, the General Systems Yearbook was transitioned[4] to be included each year as issue 5 of Systems Research and Behavioral Sciences.
