Comparative Migration Studies welcomes Special Issues on timely topics.

Please fill in this proposal form for assessment of the Editorial Board (all fields are required). and send it to [email protected] and [email protected]
Topic of the Special Issue
Please include any topic in the scope of CMS is appropriate, but special issues should address new areas, or consolidated areas with significant recent progresses. The rationale for the special issue topic must be well motivated, and the timeliness and relevance to the CMS audience has to be clearly presented. In addition, objective criteria that show the importance of the proposed topic are welcome, as well as indications about the absence of similar special issues in other journals.
Guest Editor/s Details
The Guest Editor/s should be well established researchers in the domain of the special issue or closely related fields. He/She/They should have at a minimum, several years of post-PhD experience, and a significant publication track record. Special issue proposals should include a short bio for each of the Guest Editors, along with complete contact information for each of them. Submitted manuscripts to the special issue are required to be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. Reviewers will also be asked to indicate how interesting and significant the research is. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board.
Potential contributions
Proposals are usually stronger if they include a potential list of contributors, which demonstrate the potential importance of the topic. Alternatively, a list of workshops, special sessions or similar events can contribute to support the potential success of a special issue.
