GET INVOLVED

ACTIVITIES

Futures & Foresight Science publishes articles which focus on methods that aid anticipation of the future in the widest sense, that document the current status of a particular method’s application and use, and that analyze its future potential and prospects.

Specifically, it invites papers that consider:

• particular scenario methods,
• variants of the Delphi method,
• judgmental probability forecasting,
• corporate and organizational foresight,
• the role and validity of expert judgment in anticipating the future,
• the combination of judgments from groups of individuals,
• the behavioral dynamics of using a focal method,
• the combination of futures methodologies, and
• horizon scanning methodologies.
