Journal of Forecasting (JF)

The Journal of Forecasting is an established, peer‑reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing the science and practice of forecasting. Since its inception in 1982, the journal has provided an international platform for high‑quality research that extends across a broad range of fields where forecasting methods are employed and evaluated. It publishes eight issues each year, ensuring regular dissemination of cutting‑edge contributions that integrate both theoretical innovations and practical applications. The journal’s scope is truly multidisciplinary, encompassing statistical time‑series analysis, econometric forecasting, judgment and probabilistic forecasting, machine learning and algorithmic approaches, and behavioural perspectives on prediction. It bridges methodological advances and real‑world forecasting challenges, making it relevant not just for statisticians and economists but also for researchers and practitioners in operations research, management science, engineering, and social sciences. Typical articles explore forecast accuracy evaluation, model comparison, forecasting in uncertain environments, decision support systems, and applications in finance, macroeconomics, demand planning, energy systems, and environmental forecasting. The interdisciplinary nature of the journal encourages contributions that both enrich forecasting theory and inform practice, helping readers understand not only how forecasts are made but why particular methods perform well across different contexts. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Journal of Forecasting is widely indexed and serves a global academic and professional audience interested in improving the quality, reliability, and interpretability of forecasts used in research and decision‑making.
