The JCM editorial team is pleased to announce this open call for Special Issue proposals, which offers a group of authors the opportunity to work on an interconnected set of papers on an innovative topic. We are soliciting high-quality proposals that will be evaluated in a continuous selection process throughout the year.
If you would like to propose a Special Issue topic for this journal, please visit the following link and then complete and submit the form: https://www.mdpi.com/journalproposal/sendproposalspecialissue/jcm, and contact the JCM Editorial Office ([email protected]). Our editors will respond to you as soon as possible.
The duties of Guest Editors are as follows:
- Refining the Special Issue’s title and scope, as well as providing a short introduction (100–200 words) and 5–10 keywords to set up the Special Issue’s website;
- Inviting contributors with the assistance of the in-house editor to achieve a publication target (e.g., 10 papers);
- Supervising the peer review process of the Special Issue, conducting a pre-review check, making final decisions based on at least two review reports that we have collected, etc.
The benefits of acting as a Guest Editor are as follows:
- You will be offered an opportunity to publish one of your papers free of charge in an open access format, in addition to having the chance to provide the waivers to the papers that you invited for your Special Issue;
- A printed book of the Special Issue can be sent to you if more than 10 papers are published by the end of the Special Issue. See more information at https://www.mdpi.com/books;
- It is an ideal venue for networking and communicating with scholars in the research community, as well as a chance to mark you as influential within your discipline. The relationships you develop will last beyond the publication of your Special Issue, establishing a network for future collaboration;
- You can freely organize or promote your own conferences by using our platform SciForum.
The Editorial Office will set up the Special Issue’s website, arrange the promotional materials, assist with the invitations for paper contributions, and take care of the administrative tasks associated with peer review.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office ([email protected]) for further details and clarification.
We look forward to receiving your proposals.
