Special Issues

You may keep the following points in mind before contacting us:

1. Generally, we will publish 8-30 articles in one issue. If you collect less than the required number of articles, we suggest you publish them in the regular issue instead of a special issue.
2. All the articles should be peer-reviewed. You may nominate guest editors and reviewers for the special issue. However, we can also assign our reviewers, depending on your needs and requests.
3. The publication schedule should be discussed with the editorial assistant.
4. You will be asked to pay an article processing charge of 200USD once the papers are accepted for publication. To avoid confusion and ensure fairness among customers, we do not waive or reduce fees/charges.
5. After the publication, we will provide you with a free e-journal in PDF.
