Once the Special Issue proposal has been accepted, a "Call for papers" period and a "Deadline" for submissions will be established, the duration of which will be determined by the coordinator of the Special Issue. The editorial team of the Journal Cultura, Ciencia y Deporte will propose a date for the publication of the Special Issue according to its availability. 

The functions of the coordinator of the Special Issue will be to write the editorial of the Special Issue and to provide a list of possible reviewers who will be selected by the editorial team to carry out the peer reviews of the articles in the Special Issue.

The coordinator of the Special Issue will have the possibility to invite authors to collaborate with their manuscripts.
