Special Issue

Forum publishes special issues to compile collections of contributions on specific topics, aiming to discuss the latest research and foster new ideas and research directions.

Special issues are edited by guest editors who are experts in the respective field, and all submissions for special issues undergo Forum's standard editorial process.

The editor-in-chief of the journal and/or a member of the editorial team oversees the appointment of guest editors and the proposals for special issues, reviews their thematic relevance, and ensures the material is suitable for the journal. Contributions published in a special issue are peer-reviewed using a double-blind process, compiled, and published on a dedicated page of the journal's website.

If you wish to propose a special issue as a guest editor and publish it in Forum, please contact forum@uibk.ac.at directly.
