[National Future Strategic Insight] Understanding and Utilizing the Emerging Issue Search Platform (No. 53)

Date : 2022-09-19 Writer : Kim You-been

Picking up signs and coming up with measures have become increasingly challenging as emerging issues are not easy to predict, although they have the potential to shift existing paradigms and trends. As the existing insight-based methods that heavily rely on experts are showing their limitations, a method that utilizes mass data (research papers) to quickly find patterns that meet the definition of emerging issues with algorithms has been proposed. The National Assembly Futures Institute has developed a methodology for searching for emerging issues using “novelty”, “growth”, and “impact” as indicators through related research since 2020. Also, the institute has implemented this methodology in the form of an online platform, allowing researchers analyzing emerging issues to freely utilize and access the developed algorithms, thereby enhancing its usability. In particular, this report introduces the functions and ways to utilize the finalized online platform, aiming to contribute to the promotion of research on emerging issues and expansion of related social discussions.
