Safeguards
Editorial standards for collections
Independent review
Every contribution to a collection is assessed independently, as a regular submission is, by the editors and reviewers.
Guest-editor governance
Guest editors declare conflicts of interest and do not handle manuscripts on which they have one.
Same fees and license
Collections follow the journal's fee, license, and ethics policies.
