Special volume
Open-access special volumes with collected papers such as a Festschrift or on a special topic (e.g. outputs of a symposium or a funded research project) within the scope of the journal are occasionally published. Journal of Insect Biodiversity subject editors and/or other guest editors should send the proposal to the chief editor for approval and instructions. All papers must follow Journal of Insect Biodiversity's style, standard and peer review procedures. If any papers by the guest editors are to be included in the special issue, then these papers must be handled by editors/colleagues other than the special issue editor(s) involved. Special issues must be 60 or more pages. Funding is required to offset part of the production cost (e.g. payment of article processing fee for open access). Special volumes are published as standalone books and assigned ISBNs.
