Special Issues | Focus sections

GAIA publishes up to one Special Issue (SI) per year. These stand-alone issues focus on a specific theme or topic and are produced separately from regular GAIA issues. Special Issues are a collaborative effort between GAIA editors and guest editors.

Focus sections are dedicated parts of a GAIA issue that concentrate on a specific theme or topic. They offer a collaborative publication opportunity, co-organized by GAIA editors and guest editors.

Guest editors cover additional editorial and production costs, granting them access to services such as editorial coordination, copy-editing, layout & production, Gold Open Access, and marketing support.

If you are interested in publishing a special issue or a focus section, please contact the editorial office at editorsgaia@oekom.de.
