Technology and learning
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
The editors at Nature Communications, Communications Psychology, Scientific Reports, and Humanities and Social Sciences Communications invite submissions to a Collection on the topic of technology and learning. Submissions may cover a range of topics from the fields of psychology, education, and neighboring disciplines such as management science, economics, and sociology.
We welcome for instance studies on the promise and challenge of adaptive technology, the role and effect of digital tools, social media, and artificial intelligence in learning. Research could consider outcomes as varied as mental health, digital literacy (of students, citizens, patients), educational attainment, teacher training, curriculum design and economic resources.
Each participating journal will apply its standard editorial criteria, including for scope and advance, to the submissions received within the Collection. 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 the participating journals more generally.
All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific participating journal through which they are submitted. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.
When submitting your manuscript to a participating journal 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.
This Collection has not been supported by sponsorship.
