What a great experience at #OxfordLLMs. This week was filled with frontier knowledge and research on LLMs in social science (as well as rain water). I’m inspired. Thank you @antndlcxr, @humeyrabiricik and @ieBoytsov for excellent organization!

🔍Journal recommendations needed: my coauthor and I wrote a piece of systematic review (phonetics field). Many journals are theoretically or empirically oriented. What would be a good journal option?
