Scopus Journal call for paper: Education and Training (Integrating Generative AI in Higher Education: From Reactive Use to Identifiable Learning and Employability Outcomes )

anshikapradhan13 — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:47:11 +0000

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has initiated one of the most significant transformations in higher education since the widespread adoption of digital learning technologies. Tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and other AI-powered applications are rapidly changing how students learn, how educators teach, and how institutions design curriculum and assessment. While the initial response from many higher education institutions has centred on concerns related to academic integrity, plagiarism, and responsible use, there is increasing recognition that generative AI is no longer a peripheral technology but an integral component of contemporary educational practice.
The rapid adoption of generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges for educators, policymakers, and institutions. On one hand, AI has the potential to enhance personalised learning, provide real-time feedback, improve accessibility, support student engagement, and facilitate the development of future-focused competencies. On the other hand, concerns remain regarding overreliance on AI, ethical use, bias, transparency, assessment validity, and the potential erosion of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These competing perspectives highlight the need to move beyond reactive responses focused solely on risk management and toward evidence-based strategies for meaningful AI integration.
Despite the growing body of research on AI in education, much of the existing literature remains focused on adoption patterns, technological capabilities, and ethical concerns. Comparatively less attention has been devoted to understanding how generative AI can be intentionally embedded into curriculum design, assessment practices, and learning environments to produce measurable educational and employability outcomes. Furthermore, there is limited empirical evidence examining the effectiveness of AI-enabled pedagogies across different disciplinary contexts and their contribution to workforce readiness in an increasingly AI-driven economy.
This Special Issue seeks to address these gaps by bringing together high-quality empirical, conceptual, and practice-oriented research on the strategic integration of generative AI in higher education. The issue aims to advance understanding of how AI can support learning effectiveness, critical thinking, student engagement, assessment innovation, and employability development while maintaining educational quality and integrity. Emphasis will be placed on studies that demonstrate measurable outcomes, offer practical implications for educators and institutions, and contribute to policy development.
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), this Special Issue provides a platform for interdisciplinary scholarship that examines the role of AI in creating inclusive, innovative, and future-ready education systems. By fostering dialogue among researchers, educators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, the Special Issue aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how generative AI can be leveraged to enhance educational outcomes and support sustainable workforce development in the digital age.

Revisiting theoretical pillars of HRM in the age of uncertainty: Contributions for performance

Organizations are continuously experiencing growing challenges pertaining workforce. Across the economic and social landscapes, we live in an international context marked by uncertainty, discontinuity, and accelerated transformation. As such, organizations are increasingly required to respond to volatile environments, technological change, shifting social expectations, and evolving forms of work affecting the workforce. Such developments have intensified the need to revisit the theoretical foundations of Human Resource Management (HRM) and to question whether established assumptions remain sufficient to explain how people, organizations, and performance are connected in the current turbulent era. Our special issue (SI) invites scholars to return to the basic theoretical pillars of HRM research. Rather than adding further complexity without reflection, this SI explores the need to “go back to basics” in order to critically examine the core concepts, assumptions, and models that have traditionally guided the HRM field. In uncertain times, HRM research must not only describe new practices and organizational responses, but also challenge conventional views on how HRM contributes to individual, organizational, social, and sustainable performance. Traditional perspectives have emphasized the alignment between HRM policies and organizational strategy, the development of employee capabilities, and the role of HRM systems in improving performance. However, the current context raises important questions about the adequacy of these assumptions. Uncertainty, digitalization and the rise of AI, sustainability pressures, demographic change, new models for employment relationships, and growing concerns about employee well-being require renewed theoretical reflection and empirical exploration. Revisiting the theoretical foundations of HRM also requires considering the tensions, paradoxes, and unintended consequences of HRM policies and practices.

Our special issue encourages contributions that critically examine the basic assumptions of HRM research and offer theoretical, empirical, or conceptual advances. We are particularly interested in work that revisits established HRM theories, challenges dominant perspectives, clarifies foundational concepts, or proposes new ways of understanding the HRM–performance relationship in uncertain environments. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Revisiting Theoretical foundations of HRM in contexts of uncertainty
Critical reassessments of the HRM–performance relationship
Challenges to traditional strategic HRM assumptions
HRM, organizational resilience, and adaptation to change
HRM and employee performance in uncertain and complex environments
Sustainable HRM, green HRM, and long-term organizational performance
HRM and employee well-being, happiness, engagement, and inclusion
HRM, knowledge management, innovation, and creativity
HRM and the management of technological and digital transformation
HRM and the need for professional reskilling
Work intensification, stress, and the unintended consequences of HRM
HRM systems, organizational culture, and competing performance outcomes
HRM and new approaches to work
New theoretical approaches to careers, employability, and work-life integration

This Call for Papers invites researchers to contribute to the debate on the theoretical pillars of HRM and their implications for performance in the age of uncertainty. Submissions should be theoretically well grounded and methodologically rigorous, offering a clear contribution to the renewal of HRM research. Empirical original research articles, conceptual papers, and literature reviews are welcome.

Scopus Journal Call for paper: International Journal of Mentoring and Coaching in Education (Sustainable Mentoring in Education: Advancing Research, Theory, and Practice )

anshikapradhan13 — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:35:19 +0000

This special issue aims to advance empirical, conceptual, and practice-based knowledge of sustainable mentoring within education and related contexts, including higher education, research training, and professional development. Mentoring is widely recognised as an effective approach to supporting learning, career progression, wellbeing, and retention (Eby et al., 2008, 2013; Hobson & Maxwell, 2020; Mullen & Klimaitis, 2021), and, when embedded effectively, as a means of fostering equitable and resilient professional learning systems (Riforgiate et al., 2025). However, most studies focus on short-term outcomes, with limited attention to how mentoring impacts are sustained over time (Rodriguez-Planas, 2012; Weinberg & Lankau, 2011).

This special issue addresses that gap by positioning sustainability as a central analytical lens for mentoring research and practice—an area that has received limited systematic attention. It seeks to explore how mentoring can generate enduring outcomes for individuals, organisations, and professional communities, while bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives, including longitudinal and comparative studies. We welcome empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and practitioner contributions, as well as insights from fields such as healthcare and business where these can inform educational contexts and strengthen the research–practice nexus (Hieker & Rushby, 2020).

The special issue is further distinguished by its cross-sector and interdisciplinary scope, maintaining a strong anchor in education while drawing transferable insights from mentoring in other professional settings. By bridging theory, empirical evidence, and practice, it aims to generate new conceptual frameworks and actionable knowledge for designing and sustaining impactful mentoring practices (Hieker & Rushby, 2020; Hobson & Maxwell, 2020).

The proposed special issue is particularly timely in light of global challenges related to workforce sustainability, professional burnout, and organisational resilience. In education and related public service sectors, concerns about workforce shortages, wellbeing, and retention continue to grow (OECD, 2023, 2025; WHO, 2024; Henderson, 2025). Although mentoring is widely promoted as a key mechanism for addressing these challenges, evidence suggests that its impacts are often uneven and insufficiently sustained over time (Eby et al., 2013; Hobson & Maxwell, 2020; Rodriguez-Planas, 2012; Weinberg & Lankau, 2011). At the same time, broader developments, including digitalisation, hybrid work, and increasing attention to equity and inclusion are reshaping mentoring practices (Haddock-Millar et al., 2023).

Against this backdrop, the field still lacks a coherent evidence base on what enables sustainable mentoring. By focusing explicitly on long-term impact and sustainability, this special issue seeks to address that gap and contribute to current debates on sustainable work, lifelong learning, and the future of the professions.

List of Topic Areas

We welcome any empirical, conceptual and theoretical contributions relating to sustainable mentoring in education. This could include but is not restricted to papers on:

Inclusive and equitable mentoring practices
Professionalization of mentoring practice
Long-term and transformative mentoring outcomes
Mentoring systems, ecologies, and organisational contexts
Translating research into sustainable mentoring design and policy

Call for paper: Leisure reading and reader engagement

anshikapradhan13 — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 17:16:44 +0000

The study of leisure reading draws on diverse intellectual traditions. Reader-response theory conceptualised reading as a transactional process between reader and text, emphasising lived experience and interpretation. Sociocultural theories of literacy have highlighted reading as embedded in social practices and power relations rather than as a neutral or universal skill. Research on motivation and engagement in educational psychology has further explored how autonomy, interest, and identity shape sustained reading habits. Contemporary scholarship extends these traditions by examining digital reading cultures, participatory fandoms, algorithmically mediated book discovery, and the shifting boundaries between reading, listening, viewing, and interactive storytelling.

Leisure reading is frequently associated with a range of cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes, including vocabulary development, empathy, imagination, stress reduction, and wellbeing. However, access to time, space, materials, and supportive reading cultures is unevenly distributed. Patterns of leisure reading reflect broader inequalities related to class, race, language, disability, gender, and geography, as well as transformations in publishing industries and digital infrastructures. While public discourse often frames declining reading rates as a crisis, such narratives may overlook evolving forms of textual engagement, including online communities, audiobooks, and multimodal storytelling. Critical analysis is therefore essential to understand how reader engagement is cultivated, constrained, and redefined across diverse contexts.

This Collection examines leisure reading and reader engagement across the lifespan and in varied cultural settings. We invite research that explores how individuals and communities experience, value, and sustain reading beyond formal requirements, and how these practices intersect with education, technology, publishing, and public policy. We particularly welcome scholarship that interrogates the social meanings of reading, the dynamics of engagement and disengagement, and the implications of leisure reading for identity, equity, and participation in cultural life.

Research is invited on a range of themes, including but not limited to:

Conceptualisations of leisure reading and engagement: Theoretical frameworks for understanding aesthetic, affective, and participatory reading; distinctions between recreational, voluntary, and self-selected reading.
Motivation, identity, and belonging: How interest, self-concept, cultural representation, and peer networks shape reading practices across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
Digital reading cultures: E-books, audiobooks, online fan communities, social media book cultures (e.g., BookTok), and algorithm-driven recommendation systems.
Equity and access: Libraries, community initiatives, language diversity, disability access, and the material conditions that enable or constrain leisure reading.
Family and intergenerational reading practices: Shared reading, home literacy environments, and cultural transmission through storytelling.
Reader engagement in educational contexts: Independent reading programmes, reading for pleasure initiatives, and the relationship between voluntary reading and academic outcomes.
Publishing, markets, and cultural production: Industry trends, representation in children’s and young adult literature, and the role of independent presses and self-publishing.
Wellbeing and mental health: The role of leisure reading in stress reduction, resilience, bibliotherapy, and emotional regulation.
Global and comparative perspectives: Leisure reading practices across linguistic, cultural, and geopolitical contexts.

Submissions are encouraged from education studies, literacy studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, media and cultural studies, library and information science, publishing studies, and related fields. Interdisciplinary and methodologically diverse contributions—qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, theoretical, and practice-based—are particularly welcome.

Call for paper: Adam Smith and the 250th anniversary of “The Wealth of Nations”

anshikapradhan13 — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 17:11:31 +0000

Since its publication, Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations has faced sustained political critique, particularly regarding its assumptions about free markets, the role of government intervention, and the implications of laissez-faire policies. Central to these debates are Smith’s treatment of special interests and monopolies, as well as persistent misreadings of his views on government non-intervention. While Smith criticized trade guilds, monopolies, and other politically aligned groups for manipulating governments to secure laws serving private interests over the public good, critics contend that he underestimated the enduring influence of such groups. This concern remains especially relevant in modern debates on capitalism and political lobbying.

Another frequent critique involves the mischaracterization of Smith as an unqualified champion of laissez-faire. In fact, Smith explicitly warned against the dangers of unchecked business interests and the moral and social costs of concentrated market power. Although he favored limited state interference, he nevertheless recognized the necessity of government in providing public goods, ensuring justice, maintaining defense, and supporting education.

Smith’s attack on mercantilism also attracted criticism. He opposed protectionist policies and government-managed trade in favor of free trade, yet critics argue that his stance overlooked legitimate reasons for state intervention—such as protecting strategic industries or fostering economic development. By dismissing these considerations, they claim, Smith’s framework risked weakening state power and leaving national industries vulnerable in pursuit of abstract economic liberty.

Labor conditions formed another area of concern. Smith acknowledged the intellectual degradation caused by excessive division of labor but devoted little attention to the broader social and political consequences for workers. Later critics judged this omission as a political shortcoming, since economic arrangements inevitably shape social hierarchies and political relationships as well as material production.

Analytical tensions within Smith’s text have also been highlighted. For example, scholars point to the contradiction between his celebration of productivity gains from the division of labor (illustrated by the “pin factory”) and his reliance on the “invisible hand” to describe market equilibrium. These unresolved tensions complicate the political significance of Smith’s arguments, particularly when applied to modern issues of market failure and inequality.

Feminist critiques add another dimension. They challenge the male-centered assumptions of The Wealth of Nations, noting how its framework reflects patriarchal structures that undervalue or exclude women’s contributions—especially in unpaid domestic and care work. Smith’s acceptance of a gendered division of labor reinforced traditional hierarchies without questioning their social or political implications. Contemporary feminist economists emphasize how economic models based on public/private and paid/unpaid distinctions perpetuate women’s invisibility and disempowerment. They also critique Smith’s portrayal of “rational economic actors” for ignoring the role of power, gender, race, and class in shaping access to resources. From this perspective, feminist political economy advocates policies that prioritize intersectionality, collective responsibility, empowerment, and gender justice, moving beyond purely market-based solutions.

Finally, ethical critiques of Smith’s work often focus on the “invisible hand.” While the metaphor appeared in both The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments within a broader moral and social context, later interpretations stripped it of its ethical foundation.

To mark the 250th anniversary of this seminal publication, this Collection is dedicated to reassessing Smith’s intellectual legacy and the continuing relevance of his ideas. This Collection aims to provide a forum for rigorous scholarly reflection on the historical, philosophical, and theoretical dimensions of Smith’s writings, as well as on their subsequent reception and reinterpretation across disciplines.

We welcome contributions that may address, but are not limited to, the following themes:

Reconsiderations of the intellectual structure, arguments, and methodological innovations of The Wealth of Nations.
The relationship between Smith’s economic analysis and his moral philosophy in The Theory of Moral Sentiments.
Smith’s position within the Scottish Enlightenment and in relation to contemporaneous thinkers in Europe and beyond.
Interpretations of Smith’s views on commerce, labor, trade, taxation, and the role of the state.
The global circulation and reception of Smith’s ideas across intellectual and political traditions (e.g. conservatism, liberalism, libertarianism, socialism, and Marxism).
Smith’s work in the history of political economy, jurisprudence, and social theory.
The ethical and normative implications of Smith’s conception of markets and economic life.
The contemporary significance of Smith’s thought for debates in economics, political theory, and public policy.
Contemporary Challenges such as Climate Change and Artificial Intelligence in the Light of Adam Smith’s Thought.

The Collection welcomes submissions from scholars around the globe, including Africa, Asia, Latin America, the United States, Australia/New Zealand, and Europe. Submissions are also open to scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including the humanities, social, natural and applied sciences, that address questions related to the above themes, and provide advice on policymaking proximate.

Call for paper: Interdisciplinary approaches to antiquity

anshikapradhan13 — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 14:41:53 +0000

The ancient world refers to the earliest period in which complex, urbanised societies emerged, beginning with the rise of cities and writing around 3000 BC in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) and later elsewhere. Although scholars often place the end of antiquity around AD 500, this is best understood as a moveable guideline rather than a strict boundary.

Knowledge-enhanced Large Language Models for Web Information Systems in Health and Education

With the continued advancement of digitalization in the healthcare and education sectors, the data types, service objects, and application tasks carried by Web information systems are becoming increasingly complex. Online medical platforms, educational resource platforms, and multimodal interactive environments are continuously generating large-scale, heterogeneous, and knowledge-intensive data, requiring systems to possess semantic understanding, knowledge organization, and intelligent interaction capabilities in addition to basic functions such as information storage, data access, and resource management. In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have developed rapidly, demonstrating strong capabilities in tasks such as natural language understanding, question answering, content generation, and human-computer interaction, providing new technological pathways for Web information systems in the healthcare and education sectors to handle complex knowledge resources, support personalized services, and achieve intelligent interaction.

However, directly applying general-purpose LLMs to Web information systems in healthcare and education still faces several challenges. First, the generation process of LLMs primarily relies on parametric knowledge and contextual relationships, lacking explicit representations of domain knowledge boundaries, professional semantic relationships, and task constraints. Therefore, when handling tasks such as medical knowledge and personalized services, it is prone to problems such as factual bias or inconsistent results. Second, medical and educational applications typically require systems with high interpretability and traceability, while the reasoning process of general LLMs is highly implicit, making it difficult to clearly present the relationship between the generated results and domain knowledge and service goals. Furthermore, the data resources upon which network information systems rely often have characteristics such as dynamic updates and multimodal representation, placing higher demands on knowledge integration, semantic alignment, and security management. Therefore, relying solely on the language understanding and generation capabilities of general-purpose LLMs is insufficient to support the reliability, explainability, and controllability required by Web information systems in healthcare and education.

Knowledge-enhanced LLMs provide an important research direction for addressing the above challenges. By incorporating structured knowledge, Web semantics, and multimodal knowledge representation into LLMs, it becomes possible to introduce more explicit domain constraints and semantic associations into generation and reasoning processes, thereby improving the task adaptability of LLMs to professional knowledge and enhancing the explainability of their outputs. Furthermore, knowledge-enhancement mechanisms facilitate the coordinated operation of LLMs with functional modules in Web information systems, such as data integration, information retrieval, and application management, providing more reliable technical support for tasks including medical information services, health question answering, and learning analytics. Against this background, this special issue focuses on knowledge-enhanced LLMs for Web information systems in healthcare and education, and solicits high-quality research contributions on theoretical models, key methods, system frameworks, evaluation mechanisms, and practical applications. It particularly welcomes studies that investigate how knowledge-driven artificial intelligence technologies improve the reliability, explainability, and adaptability of Web-based healthcare and education services, while promoting interdisciplinary advances in generative artificial intelligence, AI agents, multimodal artificial intelligence, and privacy-preserving artificial intelligence.

Scopus Journal call for paper: Journal of Enterprise Information Management (Agentic and Generative AI in Healthcare Organizations: Governance, Clinical Workflow Integration and Responsible Value Creation )

anshikapradhan13 — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 17:14:32 +0000

This Journal of Enterprise Information Management Special Issue (SI) seeks to understand Agentic Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI (GenAI) in healthcare, and how these technologies impact the governance, strategy, and value creation of healthcare organizations. In technological innovation, digital technologies are reconfiguring value creation processes and prompting organizations to develop new adaptive strategies (Mele et al., 2018; Lemos et al., 2025). In healthcare, this transformation is driving the adoption of innovative solutions to enhance value for stakeholders while supporting more personalised, predictive, and preventive models of care (Rani et al., 2024). In this context, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and GenAI are emerging as strategic levers for optimising resource allocation, supporting new care delivery paradigms, and accelerating research and development (Dwivedi et al., 2023; Varghese & Chapiro, 2024; Doron et al., 2024). Meanwhile, the rapid emergence of Agentic AI systems introduces a further step in this transformation. AI technologies are moving from reactive tools towards semi-autonomous systems able to plan, coordinate and monitor actions across complex organizations.

Healthcare is a relevant setting for examining how innovation management shapes competitiveness, sustainability, and value-creation capabilities. Recent debate has shifted from a focus on the technical performance of AI systems to broader concerns related to implementation, accountability, trustworthiness, evaluation, and organisational sustainability (Papagiannidis et al., 2025; Bankins et al., 2024; Xiong et al., 2026). This shift is crucial in healthcare, where Agentic AI and GenAI are not merely digital transformation tools, but sociotechnical systems that potentially affect clinical practices, decision-making processes, care coordination, patient-doctor relationships, resource allocation and costs optimization.

Notably, AI and GenAI are sociotechnical systems with growing autonomy and interactive capabilities, thereby raising new questions around trust, responsibility, human oversight, and governance. As such, they pose a significant challenge to enterprise information management, affecting processes, data, professional roles, compliance, procurement, and monitoring systems (Schiavone et al., 2021).

Thus, the deployment of Agentic AI and GenAI occurs in high-risk, highly regulated, data and human-intensive settings. Healthcare organizations must balance innovation with patient safety, care quality, ethical and regulatory issues, data protection and human oversight preservation. In this context, errors, biases and unclear accountability may affect patients, professionals and healthcare ecosystems. This SI moves beyond the broader discussions of GenAI-enabled digital transformation or Agentic AI in organisational functions. It focuses on how healthcare organizations design, implement, manage and scale AI semi-autonomous systems within complex care environments.

This SI seeks theoretical and empirical contributions examining how health systems, healthcare organizations, and providers develop capabilities, governance structures, and evaluation practices to move from experimentation to technology adoption and integration. Particular attention will be given to agentic workflow integration, responsible value creation, data governance, clinical and managerial accountability, human oversight, professional role reconfiguration, patient-doctor relationship, organisational capabilities and compliance with existing regulatory frameworks.

By focusing on healthcare as the empirical and theoretical context, this SI aims to generate new insights into how Agentic and GenAI systems can be responsibly embedded in healthcare organizations while balancing innovation, safety, equity, trust, regulatory compliance and measurable clinical, organisational, and societal value.
