The Analysis of Verbal Behavior centers on the behavioral analysis of verbal behavior, both theoretical and experimental.
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.
The Analysis of Verbal Behavior is pleased to announce the launch of our Reviewer Mentoring program. The mission of this program is to support junior scholars in learning to conduct reviews for scientific journals in behavior analysis.
The special issue will feature verbal behavior research conducted by students and junior scholars early in their career.
