 * Organize a Special Issue
   
   The sections below will help you in organizing a successful special issue. A
   good special issue should include an appropriate title, a well-structured
   description, effective keywords and a capable editorial team.
   
   
   PROPOSE A SPECIAL ISSUE TITLE
   
   You should propose a title close to your own research interests. The title
   must be of increasing interest within your field and the scope of the
   journal. It should be broad enough to attract a reasonable number of
   submissions, but narrow enough to provide a cohesive collection of articles.
   The special issues often focus on the interface of two or more traditional
   disciplines, a recent advance in the field, or an emerging societal
   challenge. If you find a surge in interest in a particular subject at recent
   conferences, this is a good sign that a related proposal will generate
   significant interest. There are some rules to propose your special issue
   title:
   
   1. The title should be a refined phrase in academic style;
   
   2. The title should be succinct but descriptive for your special issue;
   
   3. The title should indicate the main research object which is the core word
   of the title;
   
   4. The title is advised to include two or three core words.
   
   
   WRITE A DESCRIPTION
   
   The description of the special issue needs to introduce the reason of
   proposing your special issue, the aims and significance of this special
   issue, and the research subjects that this issue will focus on, which can
   attract more scholars to participate in your special issue. Specifically, the
   description should include at least 3 components:
   
   (1) The background of this research (such as environmental background, an
   introduction of research object, research frontiers, the existing
   issues/challenges or the significance/importance of this research, etc.);
   
   (2) The aim of this special issue (such as the problems to be solved, etc.);
   
   (3) The subjects of this special issue (such as a list of key subjects or
   topics to be covered, together with a description of the types of papers
   accepted, etc.).
   
   
   SELECT KEYWORDS
   
   The keywords need to be provided in order to make the scholars quickly
   understand this special issue. There should be at least 6 keywords, covering
   the scope of the special issue, serving as complimentary information of the
   title and concretizing the study direction implied by the title.
   
   
   RECRUIT AN EDITORIAL TEAM
   
   The special issue will be composed of a lead guest editor and several guest
   editors. This team should be sufficient of capacity and expertise, and take
   on the following responsibilities:
   
   (1) Promote your special issue;
   
   (2) Submit papers / Invite authors to contribute papers;
   
   (3) Maintain contact with authors who are interested;
   
   (4) Organize peer review for submitted papers.
   
   The qualification of guest editors will be reviewed to ensure they meet the
   editorial requirements of this journal. The lead guest editor is also
   encouraged to recruit team members from multiple institutions and locations,
   which can reduce conflicts of interest and help the special issue reach a
   wider audience.
