Special Issues and Guest-edited Collections
GMR does not currently accept proposals for special issues, thematic supplements or guest-edited collections.
Current position
All submissions are processed within regular issues. Proposals for special issues are not accepted at this stage of journal development.
Standards if introduced later
- The Editor-in-Chief remains responsible for all content.
- Articles receive the same technical checks and at least two independent external reviews.
- Guest-editor credentials and conflicts are checked and monitored by the journal.
- A guest editor cannot handle their own article or a conflicted article.
- Articles by guest editors undergo independent handling and may not dominate the collection.
- Sponsors have no role in reviewer selection or decisions.
