If Special Issues of Journals Are Not So Special, Why Has Their Use Proliferated?

Richard T. Mowday

University of Oregon

In the context of the increasing publication of special issues in scholarly journals, this commentary critically examines the arguments in favor and against special issues. Both arguments are found to be wanting. Possible reasons for the proliferation of special issues are offered, as are thoughts on when special issues may be more useful.

Key Words: scholarly journals • special issues • research forums • innovation in research
