As the fields of artificial intelligence and scientometrics converge, new methodologies and insights are emerging that can revolutionize how we analyze and evaluate scientific output.
We are pleased to announce a special topic dedicated to the theme "AI for Science of Science." We invite researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders to submit original research articles, case studies, and reviews that explore the following topics:
● Novel applications of AI in knowledge discovery, bibliometric analysis, and technology forecasting.
● AI for enhancing research evaluation and broadening the impact of scientific research.
● Pros and cons of AI in reshaping the publishing ecosystem (e.g. addressing issues like “publish or perish” and academic misconduct).
● Exploration of AI agents for science of science and innovation economics research.
● Ethical considerations and challenges in AI applications within science of science and other research practices.
● Datasets and frameworks for evaluating AI tools in the context of science of science.
This special topic aims to foster a deeper understanding of how AI is transforming the science of science, while also addressing the ethical, practical, and methodological challenges that arise. We encourage submissions that push the boundaries of current knowledge and offer innovative perspectives on the intersection between AI and scientific research.
We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the dialogue on this critical and timely topic.
Submission Instructions
Submissions should be made through our online platform https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/jdis by September 30, 2025. When submitting, please select the type “AI4SoS.” Once you submit, we will immediately start the peer review process, and if it passes review, we will immediately publish it online, without the need to wait for any issue publication deadlines.
