The special issue focuses on investigating users' trust in robots. Although the previous editions had the pleasure to welcome the participation of leading researchers in the field, and several exceptional invited speakers, who identified some of the principal points in this research direction, current research still presents several limitations. For this reason, we continue to further explore the role of trust in social robotics to effectively support the design and development of socially acceptable and trustable service robots. In this context, a deeper exploration of trust in HRI approached from a multidisciplinary perspective (including AI, Psychology, Ethics and Law) is required. Therefore, this special issue will explore the different aspects of human-robot interaction that can affect, enhance, undermine, or recover humans' trust in robots, such as the use of social cues, behaviour transparency (goals and actions), etc. This thematic special issue strongly encourage submissions of high-quality research papers from leading researchers in the fields addressing (but are not limited) to the following aspects: · impact of social cues on trust in human-robot interaction · measuring trust in human-robot interaction · trust violation and recovery mechanism in HRI · effects of humans’ acceptance on trust of robots · humans sense of control and trust in robots · trust and assistive robotics · overtrust in robots · antecedent of trust and robot trust · enhancing humans trust in robots · enhancing trust in a robot companion · privacy implications on trust in HRI · mental models and trust in HRI · trust and safety in HRI · ethics implications on trust in HRI · trustworthy AI · legal frameworks for trustworthy robotics Authors are requested to submit their full research papers complying the general scope of the journal. The submitted papers will undergo the standard peer-review process before they can be accepted. Notification of acceptance will be communicated as we progress with the review process. HOW TO SUBMIT Before submission authors should carefully read the Instruction for Authors: <a href="https://www.degruyter.com/publication/journal_key/PJBR/downloadAsset/PJBR_Instructions%20for%20Authors.pdf" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">https://www.degruyter.com/publication/journal_key/PJBR/downloadAsset/PJBR_Instructions%20for%20Authors.pdf</a> Manuscripts can be written in TeX, LaTeX (strongly recommended) - the journal’s <a href="https://www.degruyter.com/publication/journal_key/PJBR/downloadAsset/PJBR_LaTeX%20Template.zip" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">LATEX template</a>. Please note that we do not accept papers in Plain TEX format. Text files can be also submitted as standard DOCUMENT (.DOC) which is acceptable if the submission in LATEX is not possible. For an initial submission, the authors are strongly advised to upload their entire manuscript, including tables and figures, as a single PDF file. All submissions to the Special Issue must be made electronically via online submission system Editorial Manager: <a href="http://www.editorialmanager.com/paladyn/" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline">www.editorialmanager.com/paladyn/</a> All manuscripts will undergo the standard peer-review process (single blind, at least two independent reviewers). When entering your submission via online submission system please choose the section/category “SI on Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human Robot Interaction”. Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described has not been published before and it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else. The deadline for submissions is now extended by 15 May 2021. Earlier submissions will be reviewed and published online on an ongoing basis. Contributors to the Special Issue will benefit from: · indexation in SCOPUS · NO submission FEES; voluntary publication fees* · constructive peer review provided by experts in the field · no space constraints · convenient, web-based paper submission and tracking system – Editorial Manager · quick online publication upon completing the publishing process (continuous publication model) · better visibility due to Open Access <ul style="margin-top:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(42,42,42);margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">liberal policies on copyrights (authors retain copyrights) and on self-archiving (no embargo periods)</li></ul> · long-term preservation of the content (articles archived in Portico) · promotion of published papers to readers and citers *The journal is subject to a VOLUNTARY Article Processing Charge (APC) which only accounts for accepted manuscripts.
