Dear Damith Wickramanayake,

Glad to hear from you. You could choose a suitable journal which relates to your research area for the special issue.

See all our journals by this link: http://www.sapub.org/Journal/alljournalslist.aspx

The following is a summary of the most important issues when conducting an Editorial in a Special Issue.

Principal duties of the Editors in summary:

1. Propose a Special Issue Call for Papers. The call for papers should clearly define the Special Issue's topic or theme.

2. Advertise Special Issue broadly in the community.

3. Develop the issue by soliciting contributions from persons who are doing important work in the chosen topic, which means the Editors 

are responsible for the invitation, collection and selection of the manuscripts for the Special Issue.`

4. Conduct the whole review process of all submitted papers.

5. Interact with authors according time lines and make sure that all reviews are submitted such that the Special Issue's time lines can be 

met.

6. When the review process is finalized the Editors should prepare a 2-3 page introduction to the Special Issue.

Remarks/suggestions from the Assistant:

1. To ensure the success of the Special Issue, each Special Issue of the Journal should contain more than 4 papers and an Editorial Preface.  

Each paper should be no less than 4 pages. The maximum length of a Special Issue is one issue of the Journal.

2. Each paper must be reviewed by at least two international specialists (three in case of doubt) and revised in accordance with their 

comments. If major revision is asked for by one of the referees the paper must be reviewed again by at least one referee. The referees are t

he choice of the Editor.

3. Editors should appoint a panel of referees to help them in their task, bearing in mind the comment above concerning papers authored by  

Editors. Here attached with the Special Issue proposal template.

Please inform us if you are prepared well to be the Editor of a Special Issue and send us your proposal of the Special Issue by March, 18 (at  

the soonest,but flexible), 2015 or earlier. Your prompt answer will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Van Shell
