Special Issue Proposal Submission

Thank you for your interest in proposing a Special Issue for consideration in a Hindawi journal. Before submitting your Special Issue proposal, please ensure that it fits within the scope of the journal and meets our editorial guidelines. Please also check there are no overlaps with a currently open Special Issue, as it might delay the launch of your Special Issue if accepted.

If you are submitting a Conference Issue, please include the word ‘CONFERENCE’ in your Proposal Title, and the details of your conference in the proposal text, including a link to the conference website.

We will get in touch about your proposal as soon as possible. If you have any questions, contact us directly at specialissues@hindawi.com.

Guest Editorial (GE) Team

A Special Issue is made up of one Lead Guest Editor and between two and five Guest Editors. Your team must be diverse, ideally both in terms of research institution and country. Each Guest Editor needs a strong publication record within the subject area in order to be considered for the role.


Please provide the requested details for your Guest Editorial team. Institutional email addresses should be provided for all members of the Guest Editorial team. When including a link to the Guest Editor's publication record, please provide a link to their Web of Science, Scopus, or Google Scholar profile.
