The International Journal of Forecasting (IJF) is the leading journal in its
field and is an official publication of the International Institute of
Forecasters (IIF). Published quarterly by Elsevier, its objective, and that of
the IIF, is to unify the field of forecasting and to bridge the gap between
theory and practice, making forecasting useful and relevant for decision and
policy makers.

The IJF publishes high quality refereed papers covering all aspects of
forecasting, including forecasting methods, applications, implementation,
evaluation, and organizational behavior. Features of the IJF include refereed
research papers, book reviews, notes, and editorials. The journal publishes
occasional special issues on topics of interest to forecasters and decision
makers.

For information about citations, metrics and submission times, see the 2023
annual report.

OBJECTIVITY

To ensure fairness and objectivity, double-blind reviewing will be used.

Data and code sharing, as well as reproducibility policy

From July 2023, the IJF has enforced a new publication policy, that makes data
and code sharing mandatory, unless authors provide acceptable motivations to the
Editor-in-Chief of the journal for why the data and/or code cannot be shared. We
expect that, in practice, more than 90% of the papers the journal publishes will
be accompanied by data and code. This will have the effect to increase trust in
the work published, as well as impact.

In addition, the IJF has developed its own reproducibility policy. While we
always encouraged authors to reproduce works published by the journal (for the
same data, and possibly other data), we will now systematically submit papers
through reproducibility checks. In practice this means that, at the end of the
review and editorial process, manuscript acceptance will be conditioned to
passing a reproducibility check. The reproducibility check process is led by the
Editor-in-Chief.

There are 3 potential outcomes for these reproducibility checks:
– “pass” – in that case, the paper is accepted and sent to the production team
for final publication;
– “minor concerns” – it means that the results obtained through the
reproducibility check deviates from the results shown in the paper. The authors
will be given a chance to clarify the situation and double-check, in order to
converge to a final version of the results and of the paper;
– “major discrepancies” – the reproducibility check processed has revealed that
the results of the paper cannot be reproduced. In that case, the paper cannot be
accepted for publication.

We are confident that, while this may represent an increased workload for the
authors and the journal editors, this will also increase trust and impact for
those papers published by the journal.
