Special Issue

IJIMATIC runs special issues to create collections of papers on specific topics. The aim is to build a community of authors and readers to discuss the latest research and develop new ideas and research directions.

A special issue focuses on a specific area of research that has a broad appeal and falls within the aims and scope of the journal. It also provides an excellent opportunity to review a particular theme, examine previously unaddressed aspects, propose and develop new approaches, exchange perspectives, and encourage new lines of research. The Key benefits of special issues are increased distribution to a wider audience, additional content for subscribers, and increased citations.

Special Issues are led by Guest Editors who are experts in the subject and oversee the editorial process for papers. Papers published in a Special Issue will be collected together on a dedicated journal website page. The submission and peer review of special issue papers must be managed using this system. In addition to reading the material below, you should familiarize yourself with any journal-specific guidelines available on the journal’s homepage.

For any inquiries about a Special Issue, please get in touch with the Editorial Office.
