The rise of large language models (LLMs) has revolutionized the capabilities of AI, allowing machines to generate human-like text, engage in conversations, and assist in decision-making processes. These developments and our interactions with these models open new windows into understanding human and machine psychology.
With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Psychology, and Communications AI & Computing invite work on the intersection of psychology and LLMs. This includes contributions using language models to generate new psychological insights, work on the psychology of LLMs, and research on human-LLM interactions.
Each participating journal will apply its standard editorial criteria, including for scope, advance and article types, to the submissions received within the Collection. Communications Psychology will focus on work exploring human psychology, Communications AI & Computing will focus on machine psychology and both journal welcome work that is comparative.
Authors can choose which journal to submit to based on their own preference. The targeted journal will evaluate the submission for suitability for peer-review at the journal and, where submissions are out of scope but likely suitable for another participating journal, express a recommendation to the authors.
This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Nature Communications, Communications Psychology and Communications AI & Computing more generally.
All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific journal through which they are submitted, namely Nature Communications, Communications Psychology and Communications AI & Computing. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.
When submitting your manuscript to Nature Communications, Communications AI & Computing or Communications Psychology via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
