Call for Papers: Artificial Intelligence in Education, Research, and Society

2026-02-25

The American Journal of STEM Education invites high-quality scholarly submissions examining the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) across education, research, and broader societal systems.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a peripheral innovation; it is rapidly redefining how knowledge is produced, taught, evaluated, and applied. From generative AI tools in classrooms to AI-driven scientific discovery and public decision-making, these technologies are reshaping institutional practices and intellectual work. Our editorial team is seeking rigorous, interdisciplinary research that investigates these shifts with analytical depth, empirical grounding, and theoretical clarity.

We welcome contributions that critically assess both the opportunities and the challenges presented by AI in STEM and allied disciplines.

Focus Areas

Submissions may address (but are not limited to) the following domains:

Teaching, Learning, and Academic Practice

  • Evidence-based evaluations of AI-enhanced instructional models
  • Generative AI and large language models in assessment and feedback
  • Student engagement, authorship, and academic integrity in AI-supported environments
  • Professional development and faculty adaptation to AI tools
Research Innovation and Knowledge Production

  • AI as a research methodology or analytical tool

  • AI-supported discovery in STEM, health sciences, and interdisciplinary fields
