Editorial safeguards
Special issue manuscripts follow the same screening and independent peer review as all other submissions. Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Guest editors do not handle manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest, and editorial decisions remain independent of fees, services, memberships and roles. The article processing charge and the Editorial Policies apply to every contribution.
