A special issue for an international genomic journal(IF=1). Guest Editors are free to contribute a maximum of 4 papers to their Special Issue. Of these four, one introductory short Editorial and one long Review Article would be exempted from the regular open access publication charges of the journal. As for the timeline of the Special Issue, we generally like to give submitting authors around 6 months from the initial Call for Papers to the submission deadline, another 3 months to the First Round of Reviews, and another 2 months to the Publication Date. However, we would certainly welcome any adjustment to the submission deadline to suit your schedule. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks,
