Authors, please select a Special Section only if you specially mean to be included and/or have discussed your submission with the editor. Editor contact data is available via http://www.minsocam.org/MSA/AmMin/aes/aelist.html (on the main MSA web site).

For information on how to propose a special section please contact Editor Keith D. Putirka.

All special collection papers go through the same peer review and editorial process as any other paper. They are published when ready and not held up waiting for other papers to finish. Instead the collection also grows virtually over time via the web. The virtual collection will be available for easy selection of papers that could be bundled into a course packet or for other uses. Special collection papers are identified by a specific heading and footnote in the issue of publication, as well as on the Table of Contents. Additionally, the GSW site has a classification tag found on the right-hand side of the article that is a link to all the collection papers.

Our special collection Associate Editors:

  1. --Organize a call for papers for your topic
  2. --Find reviewers for submissions
  3. --Create detailed revision instructions for authors
  4. --Recommend acceptance (and rejection) to the editors
  5. --Provide additional editing help as needed
  6. --Write a preface or introduction to go with the first batch of papers
