Journal Descriptions
Futures is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing the theory, methodology, and application of futures studies. It seeks to foster innovative research that examines how individuals, institutions, and societies imagine and engage with possible futures. The journal publishes empirical studies, conceptual papers, methodological advances, and critical reflections that contribute to understanding anticipatory practices, foresight frameworks, and future-oriented decision-making processes across diverse academic disciplines. As a leading publication in its field, Futures plays a significant role in shaping discourse on social change, technological evolution, environmental sustainability, governance, and policy design in the context of long-term global challenges. Its interdisciplinary scope attracts scholars from social sciences, planning, technology assessment, strategic management, and related fields who wish to explore the interplay between present conditions and future possibilities. The journal emphasizes critical perspectives on forecasting, scenario development, and futures literacy, and it encourages contributions that push methodological boundaries and address ethical, cultural, and systemic dimensions of futures research.
