本页面涵盖订阅期刊的特刊。
质量上乘的特辑可以提高期刊的知名度，吸引顶尖的作者，并有可能提高期刊的使用率和引用率。许多编辑会安排客座编辑代表她/他来处理整个特辑的发行工作。各领域的专家可以纵览全局，借助自己的关系网将特辑发行最优化。以下列出了一些有关如何管理特辑以及如何与客座编辑协作的提示。
出版特辑前应该事先进行充分地规划；从发出征稿启事到最终出版可能需要 6 到 18 个月的时间。如果时间超过 18 个月可能意味着该特辑失去及时性。甚至还有某些期刊事先规划数年。规划特辑并没有明确的规定，您可以遵循以下一般准则。
This page covers special issues for subscription journals.
A good special issue can enhance the profile of your journal, attract top authors, and potentially boost usage and citations. Many editors arrange for a guest editor to handle the entire issue on her or his behalf. This allows for a specialist to oversee the issue and bring in their contacts and networks. This section offers some tips on how to manage special issues and work with a guest editor.
