Special Issues Guidelines

The publisher supports the launch of high-quality thematic special issues to track academic frontiers, hot research topics, and interdisciplinary innovations. All special issues must comply with COPE and OASPA publication ethics.

Special issue guest editors must have professional academic qualifications and no bad publication records. The manuscript collection, review, and publication of special issues strictly follow the same peer review standards and ethical norms as regular issues, without lowering academic thresholds. Guest editors are prohibited from improper solicitation, review intervention, and academic favoritism.
