ECS welcomes proposals from the scientific community for projects that highlight scientific and technological areas of current interest and future promise that are expanding rapidly or take a new direction. Our focus issue projects create a collection of research, review, critical review,perspective, methods, and communication articles from our digital library that are expected to be read and highly cited. Your complete answers to the following questions provide Editorial Leadership with the information required to assess the proposal and commence the project if the proposal is approved.

The Guest Editor’s role is to support the success of the collection by encouraging submissions to the collection, promoting the collection, and supporting peer-review efforts as needed. All decisions regarding accepting or rejecting articles submitted for consideration rest with the given journal’s appointed Editorial Leadership. This form allows for including up to eight (8) Guest Editors. Additional Guest Editors may be added following proposal acceptance.
