Guidelines for Special Issue
What is a Special Issue ?
Special Issues are curated collections of articles that revolve around a specific theme, meticulously organized and managed by Guest Editors who are esteemed experts in their respective fields. Each submission to a Special Issue undergoes a thorough and rigorous peer review process to ensure that the content meets the highest standards of quality and relevance. Once accepted, these articles are carefully grouped together and published as a distinct and cohesive collection within the journal. This approach not only highlights cutting-edge research on focused topics but also fosters scholarly discourse and collaboration among researchers and practitioners in the field.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
Contributing to a Special Issue presents numerous advantages, including heightened visibility and increased citation potential due to the targeted audience and topical significance of the issue. These issues are meticulously curated by subject matter experts, ensuring a rigorous peer review process and providing invaluable feedback. Moreover, Special Issues facilitate networking opportunities with other researchers in the same domain, fostering collaboration and scholarly exchange. Authors who participate in Special Issues position their work within the current trends and pivotal discussions in their field. Additionally, Special Issues often receive enhanced attention and promotion, thereby amplifying the impact and reach of the published research. This concerted focus and dissemination strategy significantly enhances the recognition and scholarly contribution of the authors’ work within the academic community.
