Submission Fit
Preparing a Manuscript for a Special Issue
Special issue submissions should align tightly with the approved theme and stated objectives.
Authors should review the issue description before submission and explicitly explain thematic fit in the cover letter.
Submissions are expected to meet full journal standards for methodology, ethics, reporting, and interpretation discipline.
- State special issue title in cover letter and submission comments.
- Explain how the manuscript advances the issue objective.
- Use clear terminology and consistent endpoint definitions.
- Confirm ethics, funding, and conflict statements are complete.
Review Workflow
How Special Issue Manuscripts Are Evaluated
Special issue status does not reduce review requirements.
Peer Review
Independent experts evaluate methodological rigor and contribution strength.
Decision Consistency
Editorial standards match regular issue thresholds and policy controls.
Production Sequencing
Accepted papers are queued with issue-level coordination for release timing.
To reduce timeline risk, authors should submit complete files and avoid late metadata corrections after review has started.
Practical Submission Tips
How to Avoid Delay During Special Issue Processing
Most delays are caused by preventable documentation or formatting issues.
- Confirm all co-author metadata before upload.
- Provide editable source files for tables and figures when possible.
- Attach supplementary methods and data statements for reviewer completeness.
- Respond to revision requests with a structured response matrix.
- Coordinate institutional approvals early for post-acceptance APC processing.
Authors should explicitly connect findings to special issue objectives in both abstract and cover communication. This helps editors and reviewers assess thematic relevance quickly.
Theme-aligned keywords can improve discoverability within the collection once published. Targeted metadata also helps readers navigate related studies efficiently.
Submission quality is improved when supplementary methods and protocol context are provided upfront for complex analyses. Reviewers can evaluate validity with fewer clarification cycles.
If multiple manuscripts are being submitted by one consortium, coordinate metadata consistency across files. Consistent presentation improves editorial handling efficiency.
Revision responses for special issue submissions should prioritize theme-specific contribution clarity alongside technical corrections. Balanced responses support faster final decisions.
Early APC planning for accepted papers can prevent release delays when collection publication windows are active. Operational readiness protects synchronized issue scheduling.
