How a special issue works
- Guest editors shape the theme, invite authors and work with the journal’s Editorial Board on every decision.
- Submissions: authors submit their papers on the Manuscript Portal, naming the special issue.
- Same standards: every paper has the journal’s double-blind peer review and similarity check.
- Online First: each paper is published with a Crossref DOI as soon as it is ready, and the papers are then gathered in the special issue.
