Proposing a special issue
The journal welcomes proposals from researchers wishing to guest-edit a themed issue. A proposal should set out the topic and why it is timely, the intended scope, the guest editors and their relevant expertise, and an indicative timeline. Guest editors handle the editorial assessment of submissions to their issue; all manuscripts are peer reviewed under the journal’s standard procedures, and final decisions rest with the Editor-in-Chief.
