The proposal for a special issue – including adescription of the project (2,000–3,000 words) and either abstracts of planned contributions or a call for papers – should be submitted to the editorial board. The editorial board may express its interest in the proposal, but a final decision regarding acceptance will be based on the submission of the whole issue to the editorial board, as well as on the peer review of each submitted paper.
A special issue typically consists of 6–8 papers. A paper should normally not exceed a length of about 60,000 characters. Papers may be in English, French or German (click https://www.diyar.nomos.de/en/guidelines-for-authors for detailed guidelines).
