Many journals offer special issues, which usually have clear call for papers, call for papers, and deadlines for notification, which to a certain extent combines the advantages of conference papers and journal papers.
Some authors asked on the Internet: How to find the special issues information of the journal if I want to submit to the special issues of some journals?
1. Search on the official website of the journal. If you have a clear target journal, you can directly search for special issue on the official website of the target journal to see if there is a special issue that is currently soliciting papers. Please note that some journals do not publish special issues.
2. Search on the official website of the publishing house. If you don't have a clear target journal, you can list the names of some publishers and search directly on the publisher's official website.
Here are some of the publishers' special issue lookup URLs:
1. Elsevier Publishing House
Website: https://www.sciencedirect.com/browse/calls-for-papers (remove emoji)
You can filter the research area of your paper from the subject area column on the left side of the page.
2. Springer Press
URL: https://link.springer.com/ (remove emoji)
There is a "Call for paper" area on the official website of the publishing house, so you can search for it directly.
3. MDPI Press
Website: https://www.mdpi.com/special-issues (remove emoji)
You can enter keywords in the search box. The first column of the search results is the name of the journal, and the second column is a collection of the journal.
It is more accurate to search for special issues information from the official website of the publisher or journal, and if you can't find the special issue call for papers, the author can also screen the target journal first, and then check whether the target journal has a special issue call for papers.
