JIMS publishes Collections of Papers on specialized topics, fostering a dynamic community of authors and readers to engage in discussions on the latest research and explore new ideas and directions. Each Collection of Papers is curated by Guest Editors—renowned experts in the field—while all submissions undergo JIMS’ standard editorial process.

The journal’s Editor-in-Chief or an appointed Editorial Board Member oversees the selection of Guest Editors and the approval of Collection of Papers proposals, ensuring their relevance and alignment with the journal’s scope. Published papers within a Collection of Papers are featured on a dedicated page of the journal’s website, providing enhanced visibility for the research.
