International Journal of Primatology - Call for Special Issues
The International Journal of Primatology welcomes proposals for guest-edited Special Issues or Special Sections on a particular theme.
A Special Issue is one whole issue of the journal and should include approximately 12-14 articles. A Special Section is a smaller collection of articles. Articles in a Special Issue or Section can include original research articles, reviews, commentaries and guest editorials.
All manuscripts in a Special Issue or Section are subject to the same rigorous review process as regular submissions. Guest Editors of a Special Issue or Section handle manuscripts as they come in, invite reviewers, request revisions and then recommend acceptance or rejection to the Editor-in-Chief who takes a final decision on all manuscripts. The Editor-in-Chief is happy to advise at any stage of the process.
If you are interested, please send a short proposal to the Editor-in-Chief, Dr Joanna (Jo) M Setchell (joanna.setchell@durham.ac.uk), including:
1. A proposed title
2. Proposed Guest Editors
3. A 250 word abstract that explains why the topic is important
4. A list of the intended contributions
5. An estimated timeline for submissions
