Call for Proposals for 2016 Special Issue

 

The Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education (DSJIE) is soliciting proposals from individuals interested in serving as Guest Editors for a Special Issue to be published in 2016.  Guest Editors are responsible for identifying an appropriate theme that fits with the mission of DSJIE, and for managing the process of securing and reviewing content consistent with the journal’s three types of submission: Teaching Briefs, Conceptual Research, and Empirical Research. They may invite papers from leading scholars in the domain of the special issue. DSJIE typically publishes between six and eight manuscripts in each issue. Guest Editors will also write an editorial that introduces the edition.

 

Guest Editors are expected to have some editorial experience. They will work closely with the DSJIE Editorial Team, who will provide assistance in identifying reviewers and in managing the review process.

 

Proposals must include the following sections:

 

·         An overview of the proposed theme of about 1,000 words.

·         A draft Call for Papers.

·         Qualifications of Guest Editors, including previous editorial experience.

·         Contact information, including phone, e-mail and postal addresses, of Guest Editors.

·         Plans for disseminating the Call for Papers and for obtaining submissions.

·         A timeline that includes the dissemination of the Call for Papers, initial submission and revise and resubmit processing, and acceptance of final papers in time for copyediting and production, prior to publication in early 2016.

 

Prospective Guest Editors are encouraged to consult the DSJIE journal website (www.dsjie.org) for more details about the mission and structure of the journal, and to contact the editor (dsjie.editor@gmail.com) with any questions, or to seek guidance on proposal development. Special Issue proposals should be submitted to the editor by November 1, 2014, and applicants will be notified by December 1, 2014.
