Futures
This journal focuses on medium and long-term futures in the areas of science, technology, economics, politic and environment. Issues are typically devoted to a single subject. An initial article lays out the philosophical territory and other articles in the issue explore the topic using a variety of theories and methods. At Stanford, this journal is housed in the both the Humanities/Social Sciences Library and the Business Library.
- Futures of transdisciplinarity. (Introduction) Roderick J. Lawrence, Carole Despres.
- Supradisciplinary research practices: history, objectives and rationale. Philip W. Balsiger.
- Transdisciplinarity and its challenges: the case of urban studies. Thierry Ramadier.
- Living on the border: knowledge, risk and transdisciplinarity. Tom Horlick-Jones, Jonathan Sime.
- Interdisciplinary integration in Europe: the case of the Fifth Framework programme. Ann Bruce, Catherine Lyall, Joyce Tait, Robin Williams.
- Collaborative planning for retrofitting suburbs: transdisciplinarity and intersubjectivity in action. Carole Despres, Nicole Brais, Sergio Avellan.
- Housing and health: from interdisciplinary principles to transdisciplinary research and practice. Roderick J. Lawrence.
- Urban planning: an 'undisciplined' discipline? Daniel Pinson.
- Prospects for transdisciplinarity. Julie Thompson Klein.
Technological Forecasting and Social Change
Edited since its inception in 1967 by Harold Linstone, a professor of Systems Science, this journal focuses not only on applied examples of forecasting, but also on the field of forecasting itself, especially it’s history, theory, and method. Recent articles, for example, include a dialogue between two long time forecasters recounting key moments in the history of their profession, and an article on why and how university courses and a major should be established. At Stanford, this journal is housed in the Business Library.

The Futurist
Written in lay language, with covers and layout reminiscent of magazines such as Time and Newsweek, The Futurist mission is to act as "a neutral clearinghouse of ideas." Articles cover business, creativity, education, economics, environment and resources and values. At Stanford, this journal is shelved in the Social Sciences Library with popular magazines that range from The Advocate to Women’s Wear Daily.

Future Survey
This journal takes a more academic approach than it’s more popularly written cousin, The Futurist. Its mission is to serve as a monthly guide to the literature of social change, new technologies, futures studies, policy-making, environmental studies, organizational renewal, and related cross-disciplinary fields for the "nonpartisan generalist." The typical issue abstracts ten or so articles in each of four or five categories. These categories include information-technology, environment/sustainability, world politics, global economy, health issues, the changing workplace, education reform, renewing cities, and human rights. This journal is no longer held in hard copy at Stanford.

The Scientist
Written in an informal style and containing ads for products and services such as antartic phosphatase by New England Biolabs and the Drug Discovery and Development Conference sponsored by Pfizer, The Scientist’s target audience is the active researcher who "wants a broad view of the life sciences." Its mission is to cover "the latest developments in life sciences research, technology and business," which it does in article categories that include vision, hot papers, technology and biobusiness. At Stanford, The Scientist is housed in the Physics Library.
