The present article aims to employ the integral method and integral cycle of knowledge, to develop a model for the production of knowledge, as one of the most important needs of the epistemological foundations of future studies. Since future studies can be regarded as an interdisciplinary science, and creating a favorable future seems to impractical without combing sciences, in the present study, the integral method is conceptualized through AQAL1 method, and its basic principles are defined. Because of the methodological comprehensiveness of the integral model, this model is considered to be the most appropriate model for future studies.
