  • Guidance on Use of LLMs (Large Language Models)

    Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, do not currently satisfy our authorship criteria. Notably an attribution of authorship carries with it accountability for the work, which cannot be effectively applied to LLMs. Use of an LLM should be properly documented in the Methods section (and if a Methods section is not available, in a suitable alternative part) of the manuscript. The best guidance for use of a LLM or AI is to document any contributions to your work in an upfront manner. 

  • Single-Blind Peer Review

    As of February, 2022, Perspectives on Behavior Science will use single-blind peer reviews. This means that the reviewers will know the identification of the authors. It will no longer be necessary to remove identifying information from the cover page of the manuscript.
