Galaxies (ISSN 2075-4434) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology. It publishes reviews, research articles, communications and technical notes. Our aim is to offer authors a fast and professional publication of their results; we are particularly interested in original and creative research proposals and ideas. We encourage scientists to write down their astronomical observations and theoretical results in detail. There is no restriction on the length of the manuscripts.

The Galaxies editorial team is pleased to announce this open call for Special Issue proposals, which gives a group of authors the opportunity to work on an interconnected set of papers on an innovative topic. We would like to solicit high-quality proposals, which will be evaluated by a competitive procedure on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Proposals within the scope of the journal are welcome. For more details, please see: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/galaxies/about.

• Publishing both a review paper and a research paper free of charge in the Special Issue, and a potential discount for additional papers you invite;
• Redefining the title and scope of the Special Issue;
• Circulating the call for papers for the Special Issue and inviting submissions;
• Making decisions on whether a manuscript can be accepted or not based on the reports we collect;
• Promoting the Special Issue and increasing its visibility at related academic conferences;
• If five or more papers are published in the Special Issue, we can make a Special Issue book and send a hard copy to each Guest Editor.

The Editorial Office will take care of setting up the Special Issue website; arrange the promotional materials; assist with invitations to contribute papers; take care of the rest of the administrative tasks associated with peer review, including inviting reviewers, collating reports, contacting authors, and professional production before publication.
