Water Waves - Guidelines for Special Issues and Topical Collections

Water Waves also publishes special issues and topical collections. Articles will undergo all of the journal's standard peer review and editorial processes outlined in its submission guidelines. (this opens in a new tab) The peer review process of any submission associated with a special issue or topical collection is handled by guest editors who are responsible for assigning at least two referees to each article and evaluating the reviews. Like our associate editors, guest editors make recommendations and request and evaluate revisions, but only the Editors-in-Chief can make final decisions of accept or reject on any special issue or topical collection article. Any articles submitted to a special issue or topical collection by guest editors are also handled confidentially by associate editors outside of the normal refereeing process of the special issue/topical collection to ensure that the evaluation of these articles is completely objective.
