Before embarking on a special issue with our journal, please take note of the following points:

• The special issue should focus on a specific research topic, conference theme, or closely related area within the journal’s scope.
• All submitted manuscripts will follow the same editorial and peer-review process as regular submissions.
• Proposed guest editors and reviewers are subject to approval by the journal.
• Proposals should be discussed with the journal at least three months before the planned publication date.
• An article processing charge (APC) applies to each accepted article.
• Published articles will be freely accessible online as open-access articles.

We are committed to facilitating the dissemination of high-quality research and knowledge through special issues. We look forward to working with you to bring your research to a wider audience. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or concerns.
