Submission procedure/author guidelines
If the issue will be comprised of papers submitted to a conference, workshop or similar event, please make this clear in the proposal.
Please send proposals by e-mail to [email protected]. The current availability of slots for special issues will be advised on submission of a proposal.
We would recommend that there is a minimum of two editors for a special issue, at least one of international stature and recognition, for a special issue. Special Issue Editors may not submit single authored papers to the Special Issue which they are editing. They may submit one paper in which they are not the first author. Such submissions must be handled outside of the SI reviewing process and will be subject to the normal review process. They should be submitted through the online manuscript submission system, and the Editorial Office will assign such submissions directly to the Journal Editors who will then allocate AE's for the papers and manage the review process for them. The Editors’ decision on such papers is binding.
REVIEW PROCESS
It is the responsibility of the guest editors to manage the reviewing process using the ScholarOne Manuscripts system. All papers will need to go through a standard double-blind review process with three reviewers, and details of this will be provided on acceptance of a proposal.
GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS
Submitted articles must conform to Journal style and we ask that authors follow our Instructions for Authors.
