Journal of Futures Studies
Epistemology, Methods, Applied and Alternative Futures
The Journal of Futures Studies is a globally-oriented, trans-disciplinary
referred journal. Its mission is to develop high-quality, futures-oriented
research and thinking based on the evolving knowledge base of Futures
Studies. Articles accepted for publication are expected to show an in-depth
understanding of the field's dimensions, content, research perspectives
and methods.
To stimulate the systematic use and growth of futures literature, one
of the criteria for article publication in this jour- nal is an indication
of how the article relates to others in the futures literature. This
should include reference to material published in this journal and in
the others that are the core journals in the futures field (including,
Futures, Foresight, Technology Forecasting and Social Change and Futures
Research Quarterly) as well as futures material contained in books, monographs,
and other journals.
Along with articles, the Journal will publish essays, reviews and symposia
on the following:
- Epistemologically focused futures studies on the construction of possible,
probable and preferable futures
- Methodologies in futures studies, including not only
integrated, layered, and critical approaches, but empirical, interpretive
or action-learning based approaches as well
- Applied Futures(for example, case studies in the use of futures thinking
for organizational transformation)
- Alternative futures of particular subjects (for example, genetics,
nano-technology, utopianism, social movements, or particular areas, such
as East Asia)
