ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is now accepting submissions for a new publication, the ACM Journal on Responsible Computing (JRC). The launch of this new ACM journal reflects both the phenomenal growth of computing around the world and the profound impact computing technologies continue to have on so many aspects of life and society as a whole. Kenneth R. Fleischmann, Professor in the School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin, will serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
JRC will aim to publish high-quality original research at the intersection of computing, ethics, information, law, policy, responsible innovation, and social responsibility from a wide range of convergent, interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives. The editorial board welcomes papers using any or a combination of computational, conceptual, qualitative, quantitative, and other methods to make contributions to knowledge, methods, practice, and theory, broadly defined. The journal is now accepting papers in areas including: Values and ethics in the design and evaluation of computing and information technology; Ethical and societal implications of computing and information technology; Public interest technology (information technology that serves the public interest); Fairness, accountability, and transparency in computing and information technology; Computing, information, health, and wellbeing; Approaches to addressing threats such as adversarial machine learning, misinformation, and disinformation; and Examples of how computing and information can be leveraged to achieve outcomes that benefit humanity.
The first issue of JRC is slated to be published in 2023. In addition to EiC Fleischmann, the JRC editorial team includes five Senior Associate Editors, 25 Associate Editors and a ten-member Advisory Board. Reflecting ACM’s global membership, the JRC editorial team is made up of professionals working in countries including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Senegal, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
