Special Issue Guidelines

Special issues play a pivotal role in our journal’s dedication to investigating and sharing pioneering research across the behavioral sciences. These special issues are centered on specific themes, facilitating comprehensive exploration of pivotal subjects, specialized topics, or emerging areas of interest that fall within the journal’s scope. The goal of Multivariate Behavioral Research is to publish a special issue once a year. This issue will cover a topic of interest to the journal’s readership. The editorial team welcomes suggestions for important topics for special issues that have the potential for advancing our understanding of important methodological problems. Each Special Issue is overseen by Guest Editors who are subject matter experts, guaranteeing a strong commitment to scholarly excellence and relevance.

Researchers, who are interested in organizing a special issue, should submit a proposal to the journal’s editorial office at editor@mbr-wkh.org. All submissions will be reviewed by our journal’s Senior Editorial Board Members in our editorial office. Special Issues are led by Guest Editors who are experts in the subject and oversee the editorial process for papers. If a manuscript is deemed suitable, the Guest Editors will assign it to multiple reviewers to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.
