The new special issue policy and a call for proposalsTI The new special issue policy and a call for proposals

摘要

A special issue (SI) in Landscape and Urban Planning (LAND) is a coherent collection of papers on a specific theme of research and scholarship that falls within the aims and scope of the journal and has a broad international appeal. It provides scholars from around the world with a unique forum to collectively engage in the generation and dissemination of knowledge. While LAND's editorial team (Co-Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors) may initiate an SI aimed at a particular topic of importance to the journal's development, a principal goal of the SI is to draw upon the outstanding talents and ideas of guest editors who are removed from the day-to-day journal operations and willing to channel a high level of energy and enthusiasm into an effort of finite duration. In this respect, the editors welcome innovative proposals of high quality and relevance from prospective individuals or teams, and may publish up to four SIs a year.
