Special Section Policy

The editors of Sociological Research Online welcome proposals for special sections of the journal.

Taking advantage of the journal's unique electronic publishing format, special sections may be published throughout the year alongside the general issues published in January, March, May, July, September and November. The journal can offer editorial support from a liaison editor, and administrative assistance with the final publication of the volume to the world wide web. Guest editors should note that as an electronic journal, Sociological Research Online cannot accept any paper-based documentation or correspondence.

Prospective guest editors should submit a special section proposal to the editors outlining the provenance of the collection, the theme of the special section, its relevance to the journal's audience and a profile of possible articles and authors. Proposals should be submitted electronically to the journal's office at socres@surrey.ac.uk.
