Special Issues
Special Issues Policy · Jurnal Civics
Same standards, every issue.
How special issues, guest editors, and conference papers are handled.
01Current practice▾
Jurnal Civics does not currently publish special issues or conference proceedings. If it does in future, the rules below apply and the issue is announced on this site.
02Guest editors▾
— Guest editors are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief after a written proposal and a check of their expertise and conflicts of interest.
— Guest editors are named with their affiliations on the issue page.
— A guest editor may not handle a manuscript on which they are an author or have a conflict; such manuscripts are handled by a regular editor.
— Guest editors receive the same training as regular editors.
03Decisions▾
— Every manuscript in a special issue goes through the normal double-anonymous peer review.
— The final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief, not by the guest editor.
— Guest editors may not publish their own articles in the special issue they edit.
04Conference papers▾
— Papers from conferences are treated as new submissions and are peer reviewed as usual.
— Publication in Jurnal Civics is never guaranteed as part of a conference fee.
