Invitation to Guest Edit a Special Issue for Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing
============================================================
Dear Dr. Xu,

In June 2016, Wiley and Hindawi entered into a new publishing partnership that converted nine Wiley subscription journals into Open Access titles. The journals will be published under both the Wiley and Hindawi brands and distributed through Hindawi's online platform (for more information see https://www.hindawi.com/wiley.hindawi/).

Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing is part of this publishing partnership and we are starting the planning process for a number of Special Issues that will be published in the journal during 2017. Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing is very well respected in its field with an impact factor of 1.899 according to the 2016 Journal Citation Reports released by Clarivate Analytics in 2017.

Due to your respected standing in the field, I would like to invite you to be the Lead Guest Editor for a Special Issue on a topic of your choice. The topic of the Special Issue must be of high current interest; it should be broad enough to attract a reasonable number of submissions, but at the same time narrow enough to sharpen the focus of the Special Issue.

As the Lead Guest Editor, your main responsibilities would be inviting 2-4 Guest Editors, writing a one-page Call for Papers in consultation with the other Guest Editors, assigning the incoming submitted manuscripts to yourself or the Guest Editors so they can send them for peer review, and co-authoring an Editorial with the other Guest Editors to be published as an opening to the Special Issue. Our staff provides our Lead Guest Editors with as much administrative and editorial assistance as possible to make sure that the whole process is as seamless and rewarding as possible.

Special Issues are made freely available online to all interested readers leading to the maximum possible dissemination and recognition within the scientific community. I would be happy to provide more details if you are interested in being the Lead Guest Editor for one of our upcoming Special Issues in Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Olla Galal 返回小木虫查看更多
