Special issues focus on pioneering and groundbreaking subjects. In principle, the JFLC Board invites an expert to act as a Guest-Editor for a special issue. Alternatively, proposals for special issues by potential Guest-Editors are accepted on subjects relevant to the JFLC’s Aims and Scope. Guest-editor(s) will be established figures in their respective fields, and their proposals will be reviewed by Editorial Board members; if approved, the issue will be scheduled for publication afterwards.

Essays included in a special issue must be anonymously evaluated by at least one reader other than the Guest-Editor(s). Upon the submission of the manuscript, one to three external readers, depending on availability, will assess the special issue as a whole. The final manuscript should comply with JFLC’s style-sheet.

To propose a special issue, or for further details, please get in touch with us via enjflc@hunnu.edu.cn.
