Current Psychology - Call for Papers: Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Psychology Research…and Beyond
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance psychology research is not new, most likely gaining momentum with the connectionist revolution in cognitive psychology in the 1980s. Recent advances in machine learning have placed smart AI at the forefront of emerging methodologies across numerous psychology sub-fields and at the center of debates about the roles that AI can and should play.
This special issue is designed to highlight cutting edge methodologies in psychology that employ AI as a tool to improve the quality of authors’ work.* Submissions will be accepted from across psychology sub-disciplines with special attention to those who have integrated best practices in research methods with their use of AI. Authors are encouraged to share their code or make it available upon request so that their research is replicable.
We will also give serious consideration to papers that address the uses of AI by various stakeholders, such as academicians and universities, students, and workers in various occupations. Furthermore, papers that consider ethical issues in AI are welcome.
*AI applications and Large Language Models (LLMs) are not permitted authorship by Springer/Nature. Our authorship policies include accountability for one’s work, which computer applications are not capable of. See our authorship policies here:
Guest Editors: Lauren S. Seifert, Ph.D. (Psychology) & Cory Kromer-Edwards, Ph.D. (Computer Science)
Submission Deadline: June 1st, 2024
Rationale: The recent explosion of LLMs (like ChatGPT) and their use across a broad range of applications has once again brought AI to the fore in Psychology in ways that the field hasn’t witnessed in decades. Yet. LLMs are just part of the much larger picture of AI use within methods in Psychology. We would like to see Current Psychology tackle this issue in ways consistent with its vision and mission. Let’s let everybody who wants to speak into the conversation submit papers and have Reviewers assess the submissions based on their theoretical and scientific merit. Many thanks for your consideration, Lauren Seifert & Cory Kromer-Edwards
