Proposing a Special Issue at EAJSE Journal
Welcome to the EAJSE Journal, where we invite the submission of Special Issues, curated collections of articles that spotlight emerging research areas within a field or provide a platform for in-depth exploration of existing topics. As the Lead Guest Editor of a Special Issue, you have the opportunity to play a pivotal role in scientific communication, encouraging ongoing research in vital areas while gaining valuable editorial experience and enhancing your academic profile. Numerous additional benefits come with the role of being a Guest Editor.
How to Propose a Special Issue:
If you have an idea for a Special Issue, we encourage you to propose it for one of our journals. Follow the link below to submit your proposal, and consider the following steps:
1. Choosing a Topic:
-Select a topic aligned with your research interests and of increasing interest within your field.
-Ensure the proposed topic falls within the scope of the EAJSE journal, striking a balance between attracting diverse submissions and maintaining a cohesive collection.
2. Preparing a Call for Papers:
-Structure your proposal as a concise Call for Papers, providing enough background information to entice submissions (not exceeding 400 words).
-Familiarize yourself with open Special Issues in the journal to understand the level of detail and specificity required.
3. Special Issue Proposal Structure:
-Clearly define the scope of your proposal, ensuring it aligns with the narrower focus of the Special Issue.
-Avoid broad descriptions that cover the entire scope of the journal.
4. Guest-Editorial Team:
-Assemble a team consisting of a Lead Guest Editor and 2-5 Guest Editors.
-Responsibilities include managing the peer review process and making final decisions on submitted manuscripts.
-The Lead Guest Editor acts as the main contact point, liaising with the Content Development team and coordinating with the Guest Editor team.
5. Submission and Approval:
-Proposals undergo initial checks by the EAJSE editorial team and are then sent to the Editorial Board for approval.
-Be prepared to make revisions based on feedback to enhance your proposal's chances of approval.
6. Assessment Timeline:
