Kybernetes is an academic journal published by Emerald. (ISSN 0368-492X, impact factor 2.9).

Aims and scope Kybernetes is an international journal established in 1972 and supported by several international learned societies and academic institutions devoted to the study and advancement of systems thinking. These include the American Society for Cybernetics, the Next Society Institute, the Cybernetics Society (UK), the International Association for Knowledge Management, the UK Systems Society, the Luhmann Conference Community, and the World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics. 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: • Management Science • Management Studies • Organisation Science • Organisation Studies • Social Sciences • Social Theory • Systems Theory • Design Theory • Decision Science • Information Systems • Information Management • Digital Humanities • Philosophy of Science • Communication Studies • Economics • Management and Strategy • Management Information Systems Rather than publishing streamlined treatments of mainstream topics such as climate change, digitalisation, or global governance, Kybernetes seeks contributions that offer counter-intuitive perspectives on these themes or explore emerging and alternative mainstreams. It encourages boundary-crossing work that reflects the evolving landscape of systemic challenges and opportunities. While encompassing this wide-ranging scope, Kybernetes is committed to publishing high-quality theoretical, conceptual, and methodologically innovative research with significant implications for politics, the economy, education, law, religion, the mass media, and other domains of society. Alongside scholarly articles, the journal welcomes provocative discussion papers, counter-intuitive perspectives, and Theory Transfer and Impact Articles that demonstrate the power of cybernetics and systems theories in diverse contexts of application. To ensure academic integrity, rigour, and relevance, all submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial assessment. If deemed suitable, they are subject to double-blind peer review by anonymous expert referees.
