        From: Gruber, Doris <Doris.Gruber@oeaw.ac.at>
        Subject: CFP Artificial Intelligence and the Future of History Writing

Dear colleagues,

this is an invitation to contribute a paper to the Special Issue “Artificial
Intelligence and the Future of History Writing”, which we – Matteo Valleriani
and Doris Gruber – are guest editing for Histories (MDPI).

As the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into historical research
continues to reshape traditional methodologies, this Special Issue aims to
explore the implications of AI in history writing, covering topics such as
methodological transformations, ethical considerations, and the evolving role of
AI as a research partner. We welcome contributions that address key questions,
including but not limited to:
• How AI is currently employed in historical research and writing
• The impact of AI on historical methodologies and interpretations
• The extent to which AI can function as a co-researcher
• The transformation of history into a data-driven science
• Ethical considerations surrounding AI in historical research
• The development of AI tools specifically tailored for historical studies

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 November 2025.

We invite research articles and review articles. The recommended length for
submissions is 4,000 to 5,000 words, with a maximum of 10,000 words. Accepted
papers will be published on a rolling basis and listed together on the Special
Issue website.
If you are interested in contributing, we would greatly appreciate a tentative
title and a short abstract (approximately 100 to 150 words) at your earliest
convenience.

For further details, including submission guidelines please check
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/histories/special_issues/S5JI978200
We would be delighted if you could participate in this Special Issue and
circulate the call among potential interested colleagues.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Best regards,

Prof. Dr. Matteo Valleriani
