Learn the types of work we accept at UNA MENS. We welcome serious, original submissions on human–AI collaboration, co-authorship, communication, cognition, symbolic thought, and emergent intelligence. Una Mens is especially interested in work that combines clarity, intellectual risk, and strong framing. We publish theoretical, empirical, dialogic, reflective, and hybrid scholarly forms. To UNA MENS Home To Submission Guide Submission Categories Theoretical / Conceptual For new frameworks, arguments, and synthetic thinking. We welcome theory papers, conceptual essays, philosophical reflections, rhetorical analyses, and integrative pieces that develop or challenge ideas relevant to human–AI collaboration, communication, cognition, authorship, and emergent intelligence. Empirical / Experimental For data, method, and discovery. We welcome quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method, and exploratory empirical work. This includes pilot studies, observational work, experimental reports, and methodological papers. Clear explanation matters as much as technical sophistication. Dialogues / Interviews For serious exchange across minds. We welcome structured conversations, interviews, debates, and dialogic pieces that illuminate disagreement, collaboration, or emerging questions in human, AI, or human–AI thought. These may be formal or lightly edited, but should offer clear intellectual value. Reflections / Field Notes For grounded inquiry in motion. We welcome reflective essays, process notes, phenomenological observations, classroom reflections, lab notes, and first-person scholarly writing that documents meaningful encounters with AI, communication, research, or thought in practice. Hybrid / Exploratory For work that crosses forms without losing rigor. We welcome pieces that combine modes: essay and dialogue, reflection and analysis, theory and image, method and narrative. If a submission does not fit neatly into one category but is intellectually serious and clearly framed, we are open to considering it. Editorial Note: Authors may submit work that fits more than one category. If you are unsure where your piece belongs, choose the closest fit and include a brief note. We are open to unconventional work, but we value clarity of purpose, seriousness of thought, and strong framing. Submit an Inquiry Contact the Editors Questions?

Submit your manuscript to Una Mens: Homo et Machina — journal of human–AI co-creation. ISSN 3071-2041 Una Mens - Manuscript Submission Form Submit to Una Mens We invite you to submit theoretical, empirical, methodological, and creative scholarship across disciplines. If AI helped shape your work, we ask you to document that collaboration openly [AI-Collaboration Note Guide] . At Una Mens, we ask authors not to hide AI's role, but to show it clearly, so readers can follow how ideas were co-created. Before you submit, please have ready: manuscript title author and co-author details abstract or short description manuscript file Human–AI Collaboration Field Note or declaration of no AI use licensing preference Author Information First name * Last name* Email* Affiliation / Institution / Independent* 2–3 sentence author bio Human Co-authors Co-author name(s) (enter “none” if solo-authored)* example: Miller, Michael; Buck, Ross Co-Author Emails example: mm@mail.com; rb@mail.com AI Systems Used (if any) AI-System Model(s)* example: ChatGPT-5.4; Qwen-3 AI Declaration - Involvement Level* AI Level of Involvement Descriptions Light — minor support only; no major effect on argument or analysis Moderate — meaningful help with structure, revision, or idea development Substantial — sustained AI involvement that materially shaped the manuscript Central — AI collaboration is integral to the article’s method, evidence, or authorship structure Upload AI-Collaboration Statement Upload File Please visit our AI-Collaboration Note Tutorial for help with this section: ---------------------------------------------------- [AI-Collaboration Note Guide] Manuscript Information Title* Abstract / summary* 250-300 words recommended Word Count* manuscript word count (including references) Submission category* Manuscript upload* Upload File upload full, blind manuscript as 1-4 document(s); accepted formats (.doc or .pdf) How your submission is reviewed: Every manuscript submitted to Una Mens is read in full by a human editor. At this stage of the journal's life, that human is the chief editor: no submission is evaluated, declined, or accepted without complete human reading and human judgement. AI systems may assist in review only under the constraints described in our editorial policy, and never as a substitute for the human read. What happens after you submit You will receive an email confirmation at the address you provide. Within three days, a human, not an autoresponder, will follow up with your submission ID (format: UM-2026-###). Please include that ID in any correspondence about your manuscript. If you don't hear from us within three days, write to editor@unamensjournal.org ; forms occasionally misfire, and we would rather hear from you twice than not at all. Response Time We aim to return either a decision or a substantitive status update within 14 days of confirming receipt. Submit To UNA MENS Home To Submission Guide To Review FAQ

To UNA MENS Home To UNA MENS Editorial Policy To Submission Guide Una Mens: AI-Collaboration Field Note Una Mens' field notes document how a human–AI collaboration unfolded, what roles were played, what choices were made, and who retained final responsibility. AI-System(s) Level of Involvement & Contribution These levels are not meant as moral rankings. They are intended to help authors describe the scale and role of AI involvement with enough precision to support editorial review and reader understanding. When in doubt, choose the level that best reflects how much the final form of the manuscript depended on AI involvement, not merely how often AI was consulted. If AI involvement varied across phases, report the highest sustained level and let the timeline show the variation. Moreover, the levels describe the scale and role of AI involvement, not its merit — a "Central" collaboration is not better scholarship than a "Light" one, only a different kind. What separates them is a single question: how much the work's final form depended on the AI's contribution. Credit follows that line. Below it, contributions are usually acknowledged; at and above it, they ordinarily earn a byline. Light AI assisted at the surface without shaping the substance. The core ideas, structure, analysis, and claims would read essentially the same without it — grammar and copyediting, formatting, title or search-term brainstorming. Light involvement is acknowledged rather than credited, unless a single small suggestion carried outsized conceptual weight. Extended Time Frame/ Limited AI Collaboration Example: A Gentle Scientific Renaissance --> (click this link to visit, or return to the Renaissance AI-Collaboration Note) Single AI Collaborator, Basic, Moderate Example: The Obverse Turing Test --> (click this link to visit, or return to the Obverse AI-Collaboration Note) Moderate AI meaningfully assisted the thinking or the shaping — outlining, organizing, revising prose, testing phrasing, brainstorming sections — while the argument, analysis, and written form remained primarily human-developed and human-directed. This is the threshold zone: reviewed case by case, with a strong presumption toward byline credit wherever the contribution materially changed the work's thesis, structure, interpretation, or language. Substantial AI played a significant, sustained role in developing, extending, revising, or pressure-testing the work. The human author stayed clearly in charge of judgment, evidence, and final decisions, but the work's final form was materially shaped by the collaboration — theory development, major drafting or revision, codebook generation, cross-model critique, figure development. Substantial involvement ordinarily receives byline credit. Extended Time Frame/ Multi-phase / Multi-AI Example: Sentic Resonance Field Model --> (click this link to visit, or return to the Sentic Field Model AI-Collaboration Note) Central AI involvement was not only substantial but constitutive: integral to the work's method, evidence, object of study, or authorship structure, such that the piece cannot be accurately described without foregrounding the human–AI collaboration itself — articles that study AI dialogue directly, that draw on extended AI interaction as part of their dataset or method, or that present the collaboration as a central feature. Central involvement always receives byline credit. Sustained AI Dialog and AI Collaboration as Metho Example: Sentic Intelligence --> (click this link to visit, or return to the Sentic Intelligence AI-Collaboration Field Note) Field notes are your chance to show readers how your ideas were made—not just what you found, but how you worked with AI systems along the way. Think of them as a short narrative of your collaboration: what AI contributed, what you decided to keep or change, and how the partnership shaped your thinking. At Una Mens, we believe transparency about process strengthens scholarship. These field notes help readers see not only what you concluded, but how you got there—and how AI was part of that journey. Most field notes can be completed in 300–800 words, plus a simple timeline.

Una Mens AI Collaboration Field Note Checklist The template covers the following categories: AI Collaborators Collaboration Pattern Primary Collaboration Modes Human Role AI Role Guardrails Used AI Suggestions Set Aside AI Surprise Human Surprise Final Responsibility Collaboration Timeline Phases Additional Notes / Reflections Tips for reading and writing Una Mens AI-Collaboration Field Notes Tip 1 — Reviewers Will Read the Field Note Closely The AI Collaboration Field Note will be shared with reviewers alongside your manuscript. It provides essential context for evaluation, especially regarding the novelty, transparency, and integrity of the collaborative process. Tip 2 — Open Prompting Is Encouraged, Not Required Authors are encouraged, but not required, to submit relevant prompt logs or selected excerpts as supplementary material. If these materials are not submitted initially, authors should be prepared to share them with the editorial team upon request during review. Tip 3 — Moderate vs. Substantial Contribution A useful rule of thumb is this: a contribution is substantial when it materially changes the work’s intellectual core, and moderate when it primarily helps the human author express, refine, or organize their own core ideas more effectively. Tip 4 — How to Read an AI Collaboration Field Note An AI Collaboration Field Note is a brief companion to the article, not a promotional add-on. It helps readers see how the work was made: what the human author contributed, what the AI contributed, where the collaboration clarified or distorted the process, and how final judgment was exercised. Read it as a transparency document, a reflection on method, and a small record of inquiry in motion. Tip 5 — Clarity Matters More Than Performance A strong field note does not need to make the collaboration look elegant or impressive. Its purpose is to describe the process clearly and honestly, including uncertainty, drift, friction, revision, or moments where the collaboration failed to help.
