The scope of this journal is described as:

: "... to publish high-quality works that further understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of modeling languages and techniques, present rigorous analyzes of modeling experiences, and present scalable modeling techniques and processes that facilitate rigorous and economical development of software."<ref>[http://www.sosym.org/ SoSyM website]</ref>

The journal started 2002 is currently published four times a year (as 2011) and contains a steady increasing number of pages. It consists of three types of articles:
