Special issue information

Process to Identify Topics for Special Issues

Purpose

To outline the process and criteria to be used for identifying the topic for a special issue of the Journal of Higher Education and Management (JHEPM)

Context

A special issue is a dedicated edition of the JHEPM that presents a set of papers on a specified theme. The Editor-in-Chief will determine the frequency of special issues, with advice from the Editorial Board. Normally one special issue is published each year.

An additional special issue is also published every second year for feature articles developed from the best keystone project papers submitted for the Master of Tertiary Education Management (University of Melbourne/LH Martin Institute). The topic(s) of the MTEM special issue is not determined by the JHEPM editorial team.

Identification of topics

The Special Issues Editor will decide the topic for each special issue, in consultation with the editorial team and with advice from the Editorial Board. Ideas for topics may come from the Editorial Board, the editorial team, or from proposals submitted. The Special Issues Editor may consider an unsolicited proposal for a topic from a potential guest editor.

Criteria for assessing a proposed topic for a special issue include:

  • alignment with the strategic directions of the JHEPM and the interests of the journal owners
  • relevance of the topic to the readership
  • inclusion of practitioner perspectives
  • opportunity to publish articles in areas that are under-researched or under-represented within the journal
  • availability of appropriate guest editors.

Guest editors

Each special issue will be shepherded by two or more guest editors who are nominated by the Special Issues Editor in consultation with the editorial team. Normally the guest editors will include a member of the JHEPM Editorial Board.

Invitations for manuscripts

The Special Issues Editor and the guest editors will decide on the process to identify potential manuscripts through direct commission and/or call for expressions of interest.
