Special issues publication policy

RFMK considers the possibility of publishing special issues, which must comply with the following requirements:

• Address a coherent theme relevant to the scope and focus of the journal.
• Include a signed originality statement for each proposed manuscript.
• Comply with current editorial policies and the author’s checklist.
• Include a minimum of five original manuscripts (excluding the editorial).

Manuscripts proposed for special issues will be evaluated by the Internal Editorial Committee (IEC), without external peer review, unless the committee decides otherwise. The IEC reserves the right to request adjustments and decide on the acceptance of the texts. The editorial decision must be communicated within a maximum of three months from the receipt of the complete issue. The journal allows the publication of up to two special issues per year.
