Special Issues (SIs) are collections of papers centered around a subject of special interest and are organized
and led by subject experts who take on the role of Guest Editor of the Special Issue. A Special Issue is not
an issue of the journal.
All submissions follow the same peer review process as regular papers and are published in the regular issues
of the journal when they are accepted, but are additionally labelled as belonging to a Special Issue and are
discoverable within the collection.

It has been a pleasure working together with other Guest Editors and the staff of the section "Polymer Networks" of the journal Polymers to achieve a successful Special Issue. I appreciate the opportunity provided by the journal and the authors on behalf of myself and the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, Mexico.
My experience is good. Reviewers specialized in the subject matter should be sought.
The presence of reference authors with discounts and free articles
My experience is good. Reviewers specialized in the subject matter should be sought.
The presence of reference authors with discounts and free articles should be increased.
It demonstrates the professionalism of the editorial group when I observe professors who have already led more than 10-15 Special Issues.

Thank you very much for your support! Sometimes we have had a few problems or doubts (with authors, reviewers, Land, etc.) during the long and demanding process for 16 published papers. However, everyone solved them in a good way with Land. In fact, we are happy because we are going to be guest editors in a "Second Edition" about our SI. Thank you very much for your past and recent invitations and help!

Communication with the Assistant Editor was perfect: fast, reliable, and valuable. Everything is excellently organized; the Guest Editor only needs to carry out the professional/scientific role, enabling focus on the main goal. I only have words of praise for the process.

It is very advantageous and pleasant to collaborate with MDPI. There is always great organization, strict adherence to deadlines, and the highest corporate requirements for editorial work. Special Issues contribute to the thematic dissemination of a specific scientific field in interdisciplinary research.

I would describe my Special Issues experience with MDPI as very positive. I would especially praise the excellently organized and simple MDPI web platform, but also the very polite and helpful editorial staff who always respond to questions and emails in a very short time. Since this was my first experience as a Special Issue editor, I can say I learned a lot about ways of promotion in scientific publishing, but also gained new knowledge in the field of my area of expertise by participating in the manuscript review process. I am grateful to Catalysts for this unique experience.
