OHAAI-Vol.5: Online Handbook of Argumentation for AI: Volume 5

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the fifth volume of OHAAI (Online Handbook of Argumentation for AI). 

We have an open call for papers. Within 6-8 weeks after submission, we conduct a thorough single-blind peer-review process, providing feedback to each contributor and informing them whether their submission has been accepted or if further revisions are necessary before acceptance. Once accepted, we upload the submission to our website and invite the contributor to an OHAAI event in 2025 to present their work. Near the end of the academic year, we will collate all submissions into our annual handbook, OHAAI Volume 5.

By contributing to OHAAI, you will have the opportunity to get your work published in a citable peer-reviewed venue. If you are just at the beginning of your PhD studies then publishing in OHAAI will help you start building your research profile from an early stage. If you are still doing your PhD and have already published some of your work or if you have recently submitted your PhD thesis, contributing to OHAAI will help boost your research profile even further, providing peers with a concise understanding of the work you have conducted during your PhD. OHAAI is a continuous annual project, which means you will be able to submit updates to your work each year in order to keep the research community in touch with the progress of your PhD.

European Conference on Argumentation 2025 Summer School

We are delighted to collaborate with this year's European Conference on Argumentation 2025 Summer School. During the Summer School we will lead a student session in which participants will have the opportunity to present their papers submitted here. 

While OHAAI is organising this session, we warmly welcome submissions that go beyond its typical scope. The session is open to any work broadly related to argumentation, including theoretical, empirical, and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Further, if you are submitting to OHAAI independently of the Summer School, we strongly encourage you to sign up and take part in the Summer School activities. It will be a great opportunity to engage with peers, deepen your understanding of argumentation, and receive feedback on your work in a supportive setting. For more details on how to attend, see https://eca2025students.web.amu.edu.pl

Submission Guidelines

We seek papers in the form of short research abstracts from current PhD students, or recent graduates, giving an overview of their PhD research agenda and how it relates to the field of argumentation for AI. Submissions are encouraged from all disciplines, as the ambition is to provide the best possible indication of the scope for applications of argumentation. Papers must not exceed 4 pages (plus references and acknowledgements). 

The papers will need to be submitted in PDF and will need to follow the LateX or MS Word templates provided on our website: https://ohaai.github.io

List of Topics

Our focus is on topics that link AI to other areas using argumentation, inspired by disciplines such as, but not limited to: Philosophy, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Law, Health, Sociology, Communication Science, and Economics.
