Abstract

Founded in 1969 by Dr. Harold “Hal” Linstone and re-named in 1970, Technological Forecasting & Social Change is one of the oldest journals in the field of technology/innovation management. Today TF&SC is the field's highest-cited journal, and the one with the highest Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) rating. Dr. Linstone and his circle provided the foundation for a 21st century elite academic journal. We use early materials from Dr. Linstone's private files, and early papers published in TF&SC, to trace the origins of the journal and to investigate the evolution of its focus. We find that the original focuses of the journal are still relevant today, though the set of tools used has evolved and must continue to evolve. The article fills gaps left by the recent bibliographic studies of the journal's development.
