Propose a Special Issue

CIWIL Special Issues – General Guidelines

CIWIL includes special issues dedicated to particular themes or topics to promote focused scholarly discussion and new lines of research on important issues and questions focusing on the relationship between work and learning.

CIWIL aims to have one Special Issue (SI) per year. This can include

• open special issues, involving an open Call for Papers, and/or open Call for Guest Editors, on a particular issue;
• invited special issues, where (a) contributors and/or Guest Editors are invited by the Editorial Team; or (b) Guest Editors include invited researchers as part of their SI proposal.

We particularly welcome SIs that provoke thought and discussion, for example, by taking new and emerging issues, and/or by challenging dominant practices and views.

To submit a SI proposal, please download and complete the CIWIL Special Issue Proposal Form. Submission details are included in the form. To be considered for publication in CIWIL, the SI must fit within CIWIL’s scope.

Depending on the kind of issue, and editorial experience of the Guest Editors, the review process for SIs may differ. This is a matter of negotiation between the Guest Editors and the Editorial Team. However, involvement of the Guest Editors in the review process is required.

All SIs will go through a double-blind peer-review process.

For queries about Special Issues, please contact CIWIL’s Editor in Chief: Ulrika.snis@hv.se .
