Special Issues

Special Issues gather articles on a focused theme, offering a platform for sharing new research. All submissions are curated by Guest Editors and peer-reviewed under the journal’s standard process.

Each proposal is approved by the Editorial Board to ensure it aligns with the journal’s scope. Accepted articles are published within the volume of the calendar year in which the Special Issue opens. They are featured on a dedicated Special Issue page, as well as in the “Recent Articles” feed and annual archive

For details on how to submit to a Special Issue, as well as our policies and Guest Editor responsibilities, please refer to our Special Issue Guidelines. For any enquiries, contact the Editorial Office at [email protected].
