    Proposal Submission for Special Issues

    ProData invites proposals for Special Issues that address emerging topics, crossdisciplinary themes, or pressing global challenges. Special Issues are curated collections of peer-reviewed articles that provide a focused platform for scholarly dialogue and innovation across fields.

    We welcome proposals from researchers and academic leaders interested in serving as Guest Editors for these collections. A successful Special Issue proposal should:

    • Focus on a timely, relevant, and well-defined theme
    • Demonstrate interdisciplinary scope or significant impact within a field
    • Highlight gaps or opportunities in current literature
    • Include a plan to attract high-quality submissions from a diverse range of contributors

    We especially encourage proposals that promote global perspectives, equity in authorship, and open science principles.

    Proposal Requirements

    Please include the following in your proposal (2–3 pages maximum):

    • Title of the proposed Special Issue
    • Summary of the theme (300–500 words): Describe the topic, objectives, and relevance to the journal’s scope
    • Guest Editor(s): Names, institutional affiliations, brief bios, and areas of expertise
    • Proposed article types: (e.g., research articles, reviews, case studies, perspectives)
    • Potential contributors: (optional) List of researchers or institutions likely to submit
    • Timeline: Suggested dates for call for papers, submission deadline, peer review, and publication
    • Any relevant conferences, networks, or events that could help promote the Special Issue

    Our editorial board will review your proposal for relevance, quality, and feasibility. You will typically receive a response within 2–3 weeks.

    After Approval

    If your proposal is accepted:

    • You will be formally appointed as Guest Editor or part of a Guest Editorial Team.
    • A Call for Papers (CFP) will be drafted and promoted via the journal’s website, mailing lists, and partner channels.
    • You will work closely with the journal’s editorial office to manage peer review, track progress, and ensure timely publication.

    All submissions to the Special Issue will undergo standard peer review and editorial oversight to ensure they meet the journal’s quality and ethical standards.
