 Call for Special Issues |
|
|
|
The Journal of Computing Science and Engineering (JCSE) invites proposals for Special Issues on emerging and significant topics in computing and information technologies.
Special Issues provide an opportunity to spotlight specific research areas that are rapidly evolving or of broad interest to the computing community. Guest editors are encouraged to propose themes that foster novel contributions, interdisciplinary dialogue, or focus on current trends and challenges.
|
| |
| Guest Editor Team Requirements |
 The team must include at least three Guest Editors from at least three different countries.
No two Guest Editors may be from the same institution.
The Lead Guest Editor must hold a PhD and a faculty or research position at a university or research institute. The Lead Guest Editor must also have a strong publication record in the proposed area in reputable venues (e.g., IEEE or ACM journals or equivalent).
Guest Editors must disclose all current editorial positions. Service on journals that do not adhere to recognized publication ethics standards (e.g., COPE guidelines) may disqualify a proposal.
