Deadline: May 1st, 2023

Please send your proposal to CPoS(at)bib.bund.de

Proposals should include:

  • the title of the SI,
  • the names and affiliations of the guest editor(s)
  • a summary of the topic, including reasons why it is important and timely, as well as the value added by the SI, (~800 words)
  • a list of titles, the names and affiliations of the contributing authors and abstracts (~300-500 words)

The editor and the editorial team will select one proposal for publication. The selection will be based on the fit to the journal and the proposal›s quality, including timeliness and originality. The proposing guest editor(s) will be notified as soon as possible of the outcome of the decision. We expect the decision to be taken by mid-May 2023.

Further procedure for publication of the selected proposal

The evaluation of the individual contributions of the SI will follow the usual review process at CPoS, meaning a double-blind peer-review. Prior to submission the individual articles should have been assessed by the guest editor(s) who are responsible to ensure high quality standards. The guest editor(s) suggest qualified reviewers (3-5 per article) but the review process is organised solely by the editorial team of CPoS. Guest editor(s) comment on the reviews but the editorial team contacts the authors.  When preparing their submissions, the authors should follow CPoS‹ submission guidelines https://www.comparativepopulationstudies.de/index.php/CPoS/information/authors.
