Special issues and special sections are common ways journals extend coverage beyond regular issues. They usually attract more attention, potentially because the articles may be commissioned, and they can be good for the discipline by drawing attention to a particular topic.
Ideas for new special issues may come from a variety of sources. Remember to keep colleagues, like your marketer, production editor, and publisher contact, informed about special issues. Special issues may be handled by the journal’s editor(s), but often they are handled by one or more guest editors. Be careful that this communication is worded appropriately. A call for papers is open to everyone; you do not want to give the impression that one individual is being singled out for special invitation.
If the guest editors are soliciting proposals for submissions, you may be asked to keep track of these. Unlike standard submissions, where the article is assigned to an issue only after acceptance, special issues may be assigned to a fixed issue. If this is the case, then it is important to monitor special issue submissions. Remember that guest editors may be unfamiliar with publishing and may have unrealistic expectations about how quickly papers can be turned around.
Ensure that the reviewer database can cope with the number of papers being submitted on just one topic and that existing reviewers will not be overwhelmed by the number of papers in their area. Supplements are collections of papers that deal with related issues or topics, are published as a separate issue of the journal or as part of a regular issue, and may be funded by sources other than the journal’s publisher. The journal editor must be given and must take full responsibility for the policies, practices, and content of supplements, including complete control of the decision to select authors, peer reviewers, and content for the supplement. The journal editor must retain the authority to send supplement manuscripts for external peer review and to reject manuscripts submitted for the supplement with or without external review.
A Special Issue focuses on a specific area of research with broad appeal and within the aims and scope of the journal. It provides an excellent opportunity to review a theme, examine previously unaddressed aspects, propose and develop new approaches, exchange perspectives, and encourage new lines of research. Each unique and innovative Special Issue is led by Guest Editor(s), and Special Issues are published as part of a regular issue of the journal.

Special Issues and Supplements require evaluation and approval by the Editorial Office. The Guest Editor assists with initial manuscript review and organization, and all manuscripts proposed for Special Issues/Supplements are sent for external peer review. Final publication decisions rest with the journal’s editors (usually the Editor-in-Chief or Editorial Board Member, or the Guest Editor of a Special Issue).
To ensure high-quality content, all articles submitted for a Special Issue/Supplement must undergo a standard peer-review process organized by the Editorial Office within the journal’s scope. All Special Issues/Supplements should contain a general introduction. The source of the idea, funding sources, and related products should be clearly stated in introductory material. Advertising in Supplements follows the same policies as the journal’s standard publications. The issues of Supplements are distinguished from ordinary editorial issues by an “S”.
The Editor-in-Chief maintains editorial responsibility for all Special Issues/Supplements, including adherence to editorial policies. Manuscripts for Special Issues/Supplements follow the Instructions for Authors and standard authorship and disclosure policies. Submissions undergo the external peer review process overseen by the Editorial Office and final decisions rest with the relevant editors (usually the Editor-in-Chief or Guest Editor).
Guest Editors are appointed after consultation with the journal’s Editor(s)-in-Chief. Individuals considering a supplement or special series can send a proposal to the Editorial Office, indicating any deadlines for sponsors if applicable. The Editorial Office reviews the proposal and assumes full responsibility for policies, practices, and content, including author selection, peer reviewers, and content decisions for the supplement or series. All supplements should contain a general introduction, and pages may be marked with an “S” before the page number.
Articles for supplements/series follow the same guidelines for authorship and disclosure as regular issues, and all content undergoes the standard peer review process. Final acceptance or rejection decisions are made by the relevant editors, typically the Editor-in-Chief or Editorial Board Member, or the Guest Editor for the Special Issue.

Special sections are like special issues but smaller. Follow the format for a journal article. The title of the special section or issue does not appear in the reference. Some publishers include an “S” in issue numbers for special issues. Author names should use the standard format, with initials, and an ampersand for multiple authors when applicable.
Magazine supplements are additional printed materials inserted into newspapers. They focus on a specific theme or topic and may include articles, photographs, and advertisements. The purpose is to provide readers with engaging content beyond the regular edition. Designing a high-quality supplement requires visually attractive design, cohesive typography, and a clear theme that ties content together. Content should be well-written, informative, and free of errors, with compelling photography and illustrations to engage readers. Distribution should be timely and printing quality must be satisfactory so the supplement integrates well with the accompanying newspaper.
In publishing, a supplement is a distinct section or separately bound publication accompanying a primary periodical. The term originated with extra sheets appended to main issues to extend content without altering the standard format. Supplements emerged alongside early newspapers in Europe and evolved through eras of propaganda, serialization, and advertising-driven revenue. Modern supplements often include curated content, puzzles, essays, or serialized features, and may incorporate advertising to support production costs. These supplements can be detachable inserts or bound as a separate mini-publication, enhancing value and reader engagement.
Hybrid models combine print with digital content, offering datasets, appendices, or interactive elements linked via DOIs or codes. In academia, supplements may involve conference proceedings, themed issues, or series focusing on emerging fields. They may undergo tighter or expedited review processes due to event-driven publication, but standard ethical standards and transparency in funding remain essential. In book publishing, supplements can include study guides, manuals, or test banks, serving to support teaching and learning objectives without overhauling the main text.
Описанные принципы применимы к академическим и периодическим изданиям: в каждом случае важна прозрачность источников финансирования, независимый редакторский контроль и соблюдение этических стандартов. В примерах публикаций и оформлении ссылок следует придерживаться принятых правил, включая оформление авторов и ссылок в тексте.
