Curious about the future of foresight? This podcast episode explores the fascinating 24-year evolution of Foresight J, a leading journal in the field. Drawing on a comprehensive bibliometric analysis from 1999 to 2022, we reveal how research themes have shifted from initial focuses on technology and economic growth to cutting-edge areas like Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, and sustainability.

Discover the most impactful authors shaping foresight research, such as Saritas, Blackman, and Richardson, and identify the top contributing countries like the USA, UK, and Australia. We'll highlight the journal's consistent focus on forecasting, scenario planning, strategic planning, and decision-making, and discuss emerging research hotspotsthat will define future studies.

Tune in to gain valuable insights into the dynamics of scholarly communication, understand persistent research interests, and identify new directions for foresight research that can aid policymakers, institutions, and scholars alike.
