Dear researchers in social and human aspects of forests,

Some renowned colleagues from within the FLARE network just applied a very interesting study format, i.e. horizon scanning, and published it with us as an open access  FP&E Commentary article here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1389934126000432  .
This horizon scan approach is like a little Delphi study, through which the authors are “forecasting” emerging and upcoming forest-related livelihood issues for a commencing calendar year.

I am flagging this one particular article only in order to introduce this interesting study format to our peers. Some of you, who hold extensive and long-standing expert networks in your respective fields, might consider doing a similarly well-done exercise on an identifiable and discernable issue or field of your expertise.  In such event, the FP&E article type “Commentary – Research Trends” might be a suitable format, which we warmly welcome.

Please feel free to spread the word or forward this message.

With best wishes,

Lukas
