Brief Author Guidelines for Special Collections

Brief guidelines for Special Collections are given below, however, please refer to the respective journal's full Author Guidelines for final preparation as these contain detailed information on how to compile the electronic version of your manuscript, style and legal requirements.

To ensure inclusion within the Special collection all manuscripts must be submitted by the submission deadline as outlined in the relevant call for papers, and any subsequent dates set for the submission of revised manuscripts following peer review.

We appreciate that the extent of revisions required for different manuscripts may vary and our publication schedule is set to accommodate this. However, whilst we will do all we can to expedite the process of those manuscripts rejected with resubmission encouraged, out of fairness to all authors and to maintain timeliness, we cannot guarantee inclusion within the Special Collection. We would of course include your article in the next available regular issue once accepted. We therefore advise you to submit your manuscript by the deadline if possible.
