Guest Editorship: 2–3 editors per team. Benefits include balancing the workload between the editors and the opportunity for internal discussion in case any controversial issues arise. Moreover, as the Guest Editors have different research networks, cooperation would broaden the coverage of the potential authors, thereby increasing the influence of the Special Issue.
