The ACRPS's peer-reviewed yearbook devoted to forecasting and futurology, Istishraf, invites researchers to submit academic papers for the upcoming special issue on "Forecasting Transformations in Science and Technology: The Arab Door to the Future".

Istishraf welcomes research proposals which offer new approaches and/or offer value in their presentation of novel results. In-principle acceptance of papers is contingent on an acceptance of the proposals. Complete drafts of accepted proposals will further be subject to an academic refereeing/peer review process.

Authors interested in submitting their work to this upcoming special edition should send proposals, together with their academic CVs, by email to: istishraf@dohainstitute.org, no later than May 31, 2021. Completed drafts should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words. Work in either Arabic or English will be accepted; submitted, accepted works in English will be translated into Arabic before publication in Istishraf.
