About JISTaP Special Issues


The Journal of Information Science Theory and PracticeJISTaP (pISSN 2287-9099; eISSN 2287-4577), publishes Special Issues to curate collections of papers that focus on distinctive or highly specific topics within the field of information science and its broader intersections with related fields, fostering a community of authors and readers who can discuss the latest research and explore new ideas. These Special Issues often differ from regular issues by concentrating on more narrowly defined themes or emerging areas of study. Each Special Issue is led by Guest Editors who are experts in their fields, playing a crucial role in defining the theme, inviting contributions, overseeing the peer-review process, and ensuring the quality and coherence of the issue.

Guest Editors bring their expertise and networks to the table, which are vital for the success of a Special Issue. They work closely with the journal's editorial team to maintain high standards and ensure that all submissions align with JISTaP's ethical guidelines, including originality, data integrity, and conflict of interest management.

Special Issues are published on special occasions, such as to commemorate significant events. For example, the Special Issue celebrating KISTI's 60th anniversary was specifically organized to mark this milestone.

All submissions to Special Issues undergo JISTaP's standard peer-review process, and the journal's Editor-in-Chief or a designated Editorial Board Member oversees the appointment of Guest Editors and the evaluation of Special Issue proposals. This oversight ensures that the content is relevant, high-quality, and ethically sound.

Once published, all papers in a Special Issue are displayed on a dedicated page of the journal's website. As JISTaP is an open access journal, these papers are freely accessible to readers worldwide, promoting wide dissemination of the research while protecting authors' rights through appropriate licensing.

For more information on JISTaP's Special Issue policies, ethical guidelines, open access terms, Guest Editor responsibilities, or to propose a Special Issue, please contact the Editorial Office.
