Special Journal Issues: Guest Editors of Special Issues
should take note of the detailed guidelines for the
preparation and handling of Special Issues, which
are available here. The guest editor of special
issues must take into account the following
instructions:
[1] A Guest Editor proposes a special issue with a
description and a list of contributors
with titles
and abstracts;
[2] The Special Issue Editor for Journals reviews
the proposal (if necessary, in conjunction
with the Editor-in-Chief) and may accept, reject or ask the
Guest Editor to revise the
proposal. If accepted;
[3] The Guest Editor suggests referees for each
contribution, which may or may not be
used by the Special Issue Editor;
[4] The contributors submit papers to the Guest
Editor, who pre-screens these papers and
sends them
to the handling Special Issue Editor along with the
Special Issue
introduction;
[5] The Special Issue Editor organizes and
implements the review and revision process,
liaising
with the Guest Editor over progress and
developments;
[6] The Special Issue Editor judges whether (any)
revised papers have answered the
issues suggested by
the referees reports and can decide to send any
paper out for
further review;
[7] Once satisfied that the review/revision process
is complete, the Special Issue Editor
can accept or reject any or all papers. The Editor-in-Chief always
retains the right to
single out any paper for further review and to reject any paper.
