This article is description of the system used by the Journal Systems Research in reviewing and accepting refereed journal articles for publication, during the years that John Warfield was Editor-in-Chief. Warfield resigned as editor in 1990. Systems Research has subsequently been continued under a different publisher and editor. FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE ARTICLE: “Research manuscripts which are submitted to Systems Research undergo a review process which sends the manuscript, from Author to Editor to Referees, to Editor to Author to Editor and again to Referees, until the paper achieves a state that is satisfactory to the Referees or until the paper is rejected.” NOTE BY ROSE WARFIELD: The reason that I wrote this paper: To begin with, Warfield had asked me to describe the editorial activities to the Systems Research Editorial Board members, at the IFSR Board meeting scheduled to convene in Amsterdam in March 1989, at the SGSR conference. When I protested, he said that he shouldn't do the talk himself, because I was the one who did the actual labor attached to handling all the manuscripts. So I wrote up a short outline describing the system which Warfield had developed for processing the manuscripts, and when Warfield asked me to speak at the meeting, I presented the talk. I recall that De Zeeuw, Ralph Glanville, Gilgunn-Jones from Pergamon Press, and Madjaz Mulej from Yugoslavia were among the few persons who attended the board meeting. At this stage the journal was on wobbly legs because our sponsoring organization IFSR was not paying in any money for it, it was all being subsidized by Pergamon Press, in hopes it would someday become successful. After we got home from Amsterdam, Warfield asked me to write up what I had said into an article and he could use it for the journal. He wanted more people to understand what a peer review journal really meant, especially since all the other IFSR and SGSR publications were without peer review,. So I wrote the article, and Warfield printed it as an editorial, even insisting that I send in a photograph of myself. This is characteristic of the way Warfield operates, continually pushing others to the forefront and remaining in the background himself. Pergamon Press dropped the journal eventually, because it was unprofitable, and because the Systems societies sponsored it in name only.
