Special Issues

These are the guidelines regarding the special issue proposals and publication:

  • The journal accepts special issues as long as they meet certain quality indicators (expertise and trajectory of the Guest Editors, international authorship, works within the thematic scope of the proposed issue).
  • Thematic issues must be within the scope of the journal. The EiCs are responsible for evaluating the proposals received and deciding which are accepted and which are not.
  • Special issues will follow the same editorial process as regular issues: at least two external reviewers per article following the double-blind method.
  • Guest Editors only propose a final recommendation on submitted works, but the EiCs are who make the final approval.
  • The committee and the editorial office will regularly monitor Guest Editors and their activity in the journal.
  • Guest Editors may not publish research or other articles. They can only publish the Editorial section.

All those interested in proposing a special issue should send an email to editorial@eaapublishing.org. The special issue must contain: title, scope, topics/keywords, guest editors (full name, affiliation, ORCID and email), prospective list of papers including authorship, and submission deadline.
