International Journal of Applied Systemic Studies
The International Journal of Applied Systemic Studies published by Inderscience Publishers is the society's official journal. For its inaugural volume, the society's president underlined the fact that "it is one of very few journals within the international community of people who work on Systems Sciences that deals directly with applications of systems research or study. It is possibly the only journal, internationally, that combines a systems approach to many mainstream and scientific disciplines."[1]
Certification program
The society has developed and offers an international post-graduate certification program in Professional Systemics in collaboration with the University of Piraeus, named Certified Systemic Analyst Professional.[2] The certification is to the individual using the ISO 17024 standards.
