Announcements

Fuels (ISSN 2673-3994) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research, review articles and short communications on all areas of fuel science and technology, in a timely manner. The Fuels Editorial Team is pleased to announce this call for Special Issue proposals, which gives authors and readers the opportunity to discuss the latest research and develop new ideas and research directions. We would like to solicit high-quality proposals that will be evaluated in a competitive procedure on a rolling basis throughout the year. 

Proposals for a Special Issue should have a well-articulated unifying topic and reflect, at an international level, the best work in a particular research area, either a mature area or an important emerging area, in which future investigations may be boosted by the publication of a set of excellent papers. Hence, an international group of Guest Editors and a few high-quality planned papers are always encouraged in the proposals. 

Please feel free to contact the Fuels Editorial Office if you are interested in this proposal. We will send further details for your reference. 

Please prepare your proposal as follows: 

• A 200-word summary to rationally explain the significance, novelty, technical advancement, and adherence to the scope of the journal of the proposed topic;
• A few keywords on the topic;
• A plan to solicit quality papers;
• A list of planned papers or authors in the field;
• A brief resume of the Guest Editor. 

Guest Editors’ Role

• Circulate the Call for Papers for the Special Issue and solicit quality papers;
• Check the suitability of abstracts/manuscripts submitted to the Special Issue and recommend suitable reviewers as appropriate;

• If ten or more papers are published in this Special Issue, we can make a Special Issue book and send a hard copy to each Guest Editor. 

Editorial Office’s Role
