EC Library Guide on foresight in policymaking: Research journals
Research journals
- European Journal of Futures Research | SpringerOpen
European integration after World War II has reshaped political, economic and social relations in Europe and beyond. Therefore, the future of Europe will also depend on the further development of the European Union in its wider transnational and global contexts. Consequently, the journal seeks to foster thorough analysis of key European policies, such as those for research and education.
- Foresight | Emerald
Foresight provides a powerful framework and set of techniques that allow for understanding trends and drivers shaping the world, exploring alternative futures, setting priorities and formulating strategies for action.
- Futures & Foresight Science | Wiley
Focusing on methods that aid anticipation of the future in the widest sense, Futures & Foresight Science is a methods journal that publishes articles that document the status of a particular method’s application and use, and that analyze its future potential and prospects. The journal welcomes papers on methods that contribute towards areas such as futures studies, scenario planning, horizon scanning, corporate foresight, and more.
- Futures | Elsevier
Futures aims to build substantive research and knowledge about the relationships between humanity and its possible futures. It welcomes: new knowledge about humanity's diverse anticipatory practices and how to understand, challenge, develop or enhance them; novel futures-oriented research emerging at the intersections between and beyond disciplines that provides insights into humanity's (and posthumanity's) changing relationship with the future; and the highest quality scholarship in the field of futures/prospective studies.
- Futuribles | CAIRN
Futuribles est la principale revue de prospective en langue française. Son objectif est d'apporter à ses lecteurs les éléments indispensables à une meilleure compréhension du monde contemporain, une analyse de ses évolutions possibles (les futurs possibles), des enjeux qui y sont liés, des politiques et des stratégies pouvant être adoptées par les différents acteurs.
- International Journal of Forecasting | Elsevier
The International Journal of Forecasting publishes high quality refereed papers covering all aspects of forecasting. Its objective is to unify the field, and to bridge the gap between theory and practice, making forecasting useful and relevant for decision and policy makers. The journal places strong emphasis on empirical studies, evaluation activities, implementation research and ways of improving the practice of forecasting.
- Journal of Futures Studies
The Journal of Futures Studies is an open-access, globally-oriented, trans-disciplinary refereed journal. Its mission is to develop high-quality, futures-oriented research and thinking, based on the evolving knowledge base of Futures Studies / Foresight.

- Technological Forecasting and Social Change | Elsevier
A major forum for those wishing to deal directly with the methodology and practice of technological forecasting and future studies as planning tools as they interrelate social, environmental and technological factors.
- World Futures Review | SAGE
World Futures Review seeks to encourage and facilitate communication among researchers and practitioners in all related fields and from all geographic, social, political, and economic sectors. It is also intended to promote public understanding and education in the methods and use of futures research. The concern of the editors is thus not only with specific techniques and planning tools; we also wish to include analyses of the role of futures research in the larger context of decision-making.
