Special issue information

Proposing a Special Issue for Children’s Geographies

The editors of Children’s Geographies welcome proposals for special issues on timely, significant topics that advance scholarship and debate in areas relevant to the journal’s remit. Please check the journal’s Aims & Scope page for information about its focus and mission. To submit a proposal, please follow the guidance below.

1. Discuss your plans with the journal

If you are unsure whether your special issue idea fits with Children’s Geographies , we would encourage prospective guest editors to get in touch informally with the editorial office to discuss their proposal. We would also be able to provide an indication of the likely publication date of a special issue – which, as a result of high demand, maybe eighteen months or more after the acceptance of the individual articles comprising the issue.

Editorial office: Joe.Hall.Northampton[at]outlook.com

2. Prepare your proposal

In order to give your proposal full consideration, we require several pieces of information. Please provide the following documents:

  • A one-side summary of the proposed special issue topic, including reference to how it will advance scholarly research on children’s geographies, and why you are submitting your proposal to this journal. Please also include reference to how the special issue has come about (e.g. from a conference) and how you will ensure consistency (e.g. in theme) between papers.
  • A list of authors, titles and abstracts (150-200 words). Please note that most special issues comprise 7-8 papers of around 8,000 words each; special sections tend to comprise 3-4 articles of the same length.
  • A timescale for submission, reviewing and publication (this can be negotiated but as indicated above we recommend you contact the editorial office before you submit your proposal). Please note that whilst guest editors have a full role in choosing referees and making decisions on submissions, the Editors-in-Chief oversee the submission and review of papers via ScholarOne, and reserve the right to make final editorial decisions.
3. Submit your proposal

Please submit your proposal to the editorial office. Your proposal will be reviewed by at least two of the editors, plus Regional Commissioning Editors and/or Editorial Board Members where appropriate. Please note that we receive several proposals for special issues every year, so can only accept proposals of the highest standard that meet the aims and scope of the journal.

Thank you for considering Children’s Geographies as an outlet for a special issue – we look forward to discussing your proposals.
