Guidelines for Special Issue Submissions

Special issues typically comprise collections of papers on specific scientific topics, contributed by authors through a call for papers or by invitation. To facilitate proper submission and evaluation, it is essential to include the names, designations, professions, organizations, and biographies of all authors and co-authors.

Once selected for publication, we accelerate the dissemination of the special issue to the scientific community, particularly focusing on cutting-edge research topics. We ensure consistent communication and provide regular status updates to authors throughout the submission process.
