You can propose to publish a special issue in the International Journal of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Sciences. 

You can send your proposal to the journal by email (editor@jaefs.com or jaefseditor@gmail.com).

Submissions from the Guest Editors for the special issue will be processed by Editorial Board Members of the journal to assure an impartial review procedure. After discussing it with the Editorial Board Members, the Editor-in-Chief will decide whether to accept it or reject it. If chosen, you would be responsible for of planning the issue and managing the editorial review procedure.

• In addition to an editorial written by the special issue organizers, a special issue often includes five to ten full-length papers.



The Peer-review Process

• As soon as the Special Issue is open, manuscripts may be submitted.
  
• The selection of papers should be decided on their scientific quality and on how well they fit the topic of the special issue and the journal that is publishing it.
  
• It's crucial to take conflicts of interest into account when handling manuscripts submitted for your Special Issue. If you have recently co-authored with the manuscript's author(s), they might think that you have partiality because of your relationship with them. Additionally, it's important that any potential conflicts of interest among the reviewers you invite are avoided. Selecting reviewers to evaluate an article should take into consideration the factors mentioned above as well.
  
• If a reviewer's personal or professional relationship with a manuscript's author or co-author has the potential to bias their evaluation of the work, they shouldn't review it.
  
• The Editor-in-Chief has the sole authority to review and/or reject any manuscript or arrange for any manuscript(s) to be independently peer reviewed before being finally accepted for publication. You will typically make the preliminary decision on all manuscripts based on reviews, but all manuscripts (and revisions) will then be transferred to the Editor-in-Chief.
  
• Accepted all papers are published in publication date of proposal.
  
• After all submissions have successfully through peer review, we request the Guest Editor team to write an editorial to serve as the Special Issue's introduction.
