Collective Intelligence
Collective Intelligence, co-published by SAGE and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), with the collaboration of Nesta's Centre for Collective Intelligence Design, is a global, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes trans-disciplinary work bearing on collective intelligence across the disciplines. The journal embraces a policy of creative rigor in the study of collective intelligence to facilitate the discovery of principles that apply across scales and new ways of harnessing the collective to improve social, ecological, and economic outcomes. In that spirit, the journal encourages a broad-minded approach to collective performance. We welcome perspectives that emphasize traditional views of intelligence as well as optimality, satisficing, robustness, adaptability, and wisdom. In more technical terms, this includes issues related to collective output quality and assessment, aggregation of information and related topics (e.g., network structure and dynamics, higher-order vs. pairwise interactions, spatial and temporal synchronization, diversity, etc.), accumulation of information by individuals/components, environmental complexity, evolutionary considerations, and design of systems and platforms fostering collective intelligence.
VISION STATEMENT
Collective Intelligence is a transdisciplinary journal devoted to advancing the theoretical and empirical understanding of collective performance in diverse systems, including human organizations, hybrid AI-human teams, computer networks, adaptive matter, cellular systems, neural circuits, animal societies, nanobot swarms, and others. The journal embraces a policy of creative rigor in the study of collective intelligence to facilitate the discovery of principles that apply across scales and new ways of harnessing the collective to improve social, ecological, and economic outcomes. In that spirit, the journal encourages a broad-minded approach to collective performance.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT
The Internet and other digital technologies have given the world powerful new means to harness collective intelligence at a time when it has never been more needed, not least to address unprecedented challenges such as climate change, pandemics, and inequality. But our understanding of how collective intelligence works, particularly at a large scale - whether in biology, social contexts, or computing - remains nascent. This journal will bring together the various communities and disciplines working on collective intelligence to advance our understanding of its foundations and equip us better to put its principles into practice.
