The special issue on the human-algorithm connection seeks to attract research that gives decision-makers a better understanding of the coexistence of humans with algorithms and how to improve it. The work must have an important human component (i.e., purely focusing on algorithms won't suffice) and algorithms can be understood in a broad sense including machines and apps.

Top quality papers in any of the research areas represented by Management Science are welcome, both theoretical and empirical. Interdisciplinary studies are also highly encouraged.

Potential topics

• Research on human-algorithm coexistence and interaction
• Decision-making with algorithms and machines
• Human factors in algorithmic systems
• Improving human-algorithm collaboration
• Applications of algorithms, machines, and apps in organizational contexts
