Special Issue Guidelines

At IJSM, we recognize the ever-changing nature of research. Special Issues serve as a means for us to remain at the forefront of innovation and exploration. They play a pivotal role in our journal’s dedication to investigating and sharing pioneering research in the realm of stress management. These Special Issues are centered on specific themes, facilitating comprehensive exploration of pivotal subjects, specialized topics, or emerging areas of interest that fall within the journal’s scope. Each Special Issue is overseen by Guest Editors who are subject matter experts, guaranteeing a strong commitment to scholarly excellence and relevance.

Researchers, who are interested in organizing a Special Issue, should submit a proposal to the journal’s editorial office at editor@apa-ijsm.org. All submissions will be reviewed by our journal’s Senior Editorial Board Members in our editorial office. Upon approval, a Call-for-Papers on our journal’s website will be announced. Special Issues are led by Guest Editors who are experts in the subject and oversee the editorial process for papers. If a manuscript is deemed suitable, the Guest Editors will assign it to multiple reviewers to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.
