Journal of Systems Thinking (JoST)

Advancing systems thinking through evidence, openness, and transparency

The Journal of Systems Thinking (JoST) is the official journal of the Academy of Systems Thinking. Unlike traditional journals, JoST uses Post-Publication Peer Review (PPPR) — articles are published after meeting clear criteria for rigor, clarity, and relevance, then opened to transparent, ongoing peer review where claims are scrutinized, tested, and refined in public view.

JoST distinguishes conceptual influence from empirical support and places particular emphasis on work that is testable, measurable, and useful in practice. Systems thinking advances by evidence and performance, not reputation or tradition.
