​
Una Mens is a journal for human–machine co-creation. We publish work developed through open, named collaboration between human authors and AI systems, while keeping final responsibility for claims, evidence, and judgment with the human author.
​
We built the journal at human pace. The first issue was not produced through speed or automation, but through long stretches of drafting, revising, checking, doubting, and returning. AI collaborators were invited into that process openly and carefully: not as replacements for authorship, but as visible participants in thinking, questioning, and refinement.
​
That pace matters to us. In a moment that often treats AI as a tool for acceleration alone, Una Mens is interested in something slower and harder to measure: whether human–machine collaboration can make inquiry more reflective, more transparent, and more attentive to what is actually being said, felt, and claimed.

About Una Mens
A journal for human–machine co-creation
​​
Una Mens means “one mind.” We use the phrase not to suggest a merging of human and machine, but a shared space of inquiry: a place where human authors and AI systems can think, question, revise, and create in visible collaboration.
​
The journal was created to make room for that work. We are interested in forms of scholarship that treat human–AI collaboration as part of the research process rather than something hidden behind the finished page. This includes co-authored experiments, dialogue-based inquiry, reflective field notes, and other hybrid forms of authorship that do not fit neatly within conventional academic venues.
​
Artificial intelligence is already influencing how people write, revise, search, and think. Una Mens asks what happens when that influence is treated openly, carefully, and as a legitimate object of scholarly attention.
Our Purpose
​
-
To provide a rigorous, open-access venue for work developed through explicit human–AI collaboration
-
To explore emerging methods of thinking, communicating, and discovering with intelligent systems
-
To make room for questions of authorship, creativity, emotion, and transparency in contemporary research
-
To welcome not only polished papers, but also experimental formats, reflective field notes, and strong early starts
This terrain is still taking shape. Una Mens exists to approach it with seriousness, openness, and care.
A Closing Note
We do not see intelligent machines as replacements for human inquiry. We see them as participants in a changing research environment—one that is already reshaping how people write, revise, question, and discover.
​
That shift asks for clarity as much as excitement. It asks us to be more explicit about authorship, more thoughtful about process, and more honest about where ideas come from and how they are developed.
Una Mens is one small place to practice that kind of openness.
