The Algorithm and You
It’s my pleasure to invite you to submit a paper for inclusion in a special issue of the SCHOLARIUM Interdisciplinary Journal Sponsored by The Lesley H. and William L. Collins College of Professional Studies (CCPS) at St. John’s University. There is also an opportunity to present at a conference hosted by CCPS and the Peter J. Tobin College of Business in Rome, Italy, on May 22-23, 2024. More details about the conference will follow shortly.
Submission Deadline April 15th, 2024
Accepted Papers Published May 20th, 2024
Theme: This issue explores algorithms, a topic of interest across multiple disciplines. Algorithms are the elephant in the AI room, often overlooked and misunderstood by many. In the areas of mathematics and computer science, algorithms are a familiar building block, but what about other areas? The need for other disciplines to understand algorithms is on the rise. The algorithm buzzword is now in the vocabulary of far more than the mathematician- a few being the marketing specialist, phycologist, political communication expert and student. As the effect of the algorithm becomes part of daily life, the goal of this publication is to connect the algorithm and individual.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
● Algorithms and voting behavior
● Threats to our democratic process
● Algorithms and consumer habits
● Algorithms and big data/ privacy concerns
● Algorithmic bias
● Impact on news/journalism
● Algorithms and influence on worldview
● AI/ Algorithms and future jobs/ job security

Accepted articles should demonstrate international quality of scholarship, rigor, and analysis. It would also be an advantage in terms of likely publication if the piece addresses a significant issue, even if only by contextualization, and is likely to be widely cited. All articles generally go to two referees, at least one (and preferably two) of whom are members of the Editorial Board. The comments of the reviewers are then edited, and a collective review is sent to the author.
