Proposed Special Issue
Lead a focused collection of stem cell research addressing emerging challenges in regenerative medicine and cellular therapeutics.
Shape Stem Cell Research Focus
Evolving Stem Cell Research invites proposals for special issues from researchers with expertise in specific regenerative medicine domains. Guest-edited collections advance focused topics while providing editorial leadership opportunities.
Special issues attract submissions addressing timely stem cell themes, creating influential research collections that shape understanding of cellular potential and therapeutic applications.
Successful special issue proposals demonstrate clear focus, timeliness, and capacity to attract quality stem cell research submissions. Guest editors should have established expertise in the proposed topic area.
Thematic Focus
Define a specific regenerative medicine topic with sufficient scope for 8-15 articles while maintaining coherent thematic focus for stem cell researchers.
Timeliness
Explain why this topic is currently relevant to the stem cell community and addresses emerging challenges or opportunities in cellular therapeutics.
Guest Editor Team
Identify qualified guest editors with publication records and networks capable of attracting quality regenerative medicine submissions.
Submission Potential
Describe the research community likely to contribute and preliminary interest from potential stem cell research authors.
Special issue themes should address significant stem cell challenges with active research communities. Examples of suitable topics include:
- iPSC disease modeling and patient-specific therapeutics development
- Organoid technology and complex tissue engineering advances
- CRISPR applications in stem cell modification and gene therapy
- Clinical translation of stem cell therapies for specific diseases
- Manufacturing and quality standards for cellular therapy products
- Immune modulation and stem cell transplantation approaches
Timeline consideration: Special issues typically run 12-18 months from announcement to completion. Propose topics with sufficient research activity to generate submissions within this timeframe.
Guest editors receive recognition as collection leaders while advancing their professional profiles. Successful special issues demonstrate field leadership and attract attention to guest editor research programs in regenerative medicine and cellular therapeutics.
Submit proposals via email to the editorial office. Include proposed topic description, rationale, guest editor CVs, and preliminary author interest. The editorial board evaluates proposals for fit with journal scope.
