Statement from the Journal of Information Literacy about submissions related to Generative Artificial Intelligence

2026-09-03

As with many journals, we are receiving more submissions on the topic of AI and information literacy. We remain open to receiving work on this topic that is research-driven or that interrogates assumptions and examines the consequences of AI on IL practice, ethics and infrastructure. We are not currently accepting project reports or papers on the following topics:

-    Presentation of AI tools or resources used in information literacy teaching that do not demonstrate how the tool/resource has been evaluated/show user data
-    Presentation of AI literacy frameworks that do not demonstrate how the framework has been evaluated/show user data. 
-    Presentations of AI literacy that do not engage with information literacy literature and scholarship

All AI-related research should additionally meet novelty, significance and impact criteria. Please enquire if you are unsure about suitability of your study.
