Special Edition Information

The editors welcome proposals for Special Editions that address issues in the areas of research and scholarship within the journal’s Aims and Scope, as long as they meet the requirements specified.

Each edition of the Journal (normally) comprises six (6) manuscripts of approximately 6,500 words. All manuscripts must have an abstract of up to 150 words (see author guidelines). The composition of a Special Edition should be broadly in keeping with this framework and overall word allocation. It is anticipated that Special Edition editors will include a ‘prologue’ of around 2,000 words providing an overview of the organizing theme and the contributing parts.

Proposals for Special Editions will be judged on the grounds that the collection of manuscripts:
  1. has a particular focus on social science research-based articles that make reference to other critical work in the field and/or discuss particular issues of practice-focused research broadly related to curriculum in health and physical education;
  2. explore and provide a depth of understanding of the complex inter-relationship between developing/improving practice through the production of knowledge;
  3. include contributions from lead scholars who have international/national standing in the thematic area being presented; and
  4. has broad appeal to the Journal subscribers and that the theme is relevant and timely.
Proposals for Special Issues should be submitted by email attachment to the Chief Editor Prof Chris Hickey
