Topical Collection Information:

Dear Colleagues,

Large language models like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and LaMDA have demonstrated remarkable abilities in natural language understanding and generation. However, effectively communicating with these models to elicit desired outputs remains a significant challenge. This Topical Collection aims to advance research on prompt engineering techniques, ethical considerations, and real-world applications of interacting with large language models. We welcome original research articles, reviews and communications that cover topics such as:

  • Prompting strategies and frameworks for steering model behavior
  • Analysis of prompt sensitivity, robustness, and scalability
  • Techniques for eliciting factual knowledge, reasoning abilities, and task-specific skills
  • Evaluation metrics and benchmarks for prompt effectiveness
  • Ethical issues in prompt engineering, such as safety, bias, and value alignment
  • Applications of prompt-based interaction in domains like healthcare, education, and business
  • Human factors and usability of language model interfaces

Through this collection, we hope to build a strong knowledge base around this emerging area and stimulate further research on making language models more controllable, trustworthy, and beneficial to society. We look forward to your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information:

Please visit the Submissions Guidelines page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Manuscripts should be submitted online through the online manuscript submission and editorial system. Additionally, please include a cover letter specifying that the manuscript is intended for the Topical Collection "Communicating with Generative AI: Prompt Engineering, Ethical Considerations, and Practical Applications" when submitting it online. Manuscripts can be submitted until the submission deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal and will be listed together on the Topical Collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract can be sent to the Editorial Office jic@ukscip.com for announcement on this website.

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 300 USD. Authors who are unable to cover this cost or those who are invited to submit papers may be eligible for discounts or waivers.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process.
