About the Journal

Coming Soon

Artificial Intelligence Advances in Psychology is a forthcoming SCS Journals title exploring the rapidly evolving intersection of artificial intelligence and psychological science. Editorial appointments and submission information will be announced ahead of launch.

About the Journal

Aims and Scope

Artificial Intelligence Advances in Psychology is dedicated to advancing research and practice at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and psychological science. The journal provides a global platform for researchers, psychologists, behavioural scientists, clinicians, technologists, policymakers, and industry professionals to share high-quality research and scholarship exploring the relationships between AI, cognition, behaviour, decision-making, mental health, and human experience.

The journal welcomes research addressing both how AI can advance psychological research and practice and what psychological science can contribute to understanding the design, adoption, use, and consequences of intelligent technologies.

We particularly welcome interdisciplinary research connecting psychology with artificial intelligence, behavioural science, computer science, neuroscience, health, education, organisational research, and the social sciences.

See planned article types for Artificial Intelligence Advances in Psychology below.

Dual Publication Scheme
Where appropriate, authors may submit two companion articles from the same research programme: one presenting successful experimental results, and a second documenting negative or null findings.

Both articles will be independently peer reviewed, assigned their own DOIs, and be fully citable. This approach reflects our commitment to recognising the full spectrum of scientific discovery, including research that does not produce statistically significant, positive, or expected results.
