Procedure for "Special Issues"
Procedure for "Special Issues" of Pertanika is straightforward.

•	The Guest Editor from the Seminar or Symposium is usually the Chair of the Scientific Committee of the Seminar/Symposium/Congress. The Guest Editor and the Guest Editorial Board which he/she will appoint to assist them are responsible for collecting the papers which should be as per the Pertanika format. The Board shall also be responsible in identifying 3 reviewers for each paper, and in completing the blind peer-reviewing process.

•	At all times, our policy of blind peer-review and approval by at least 2 or 3 reviewers for each paper accepted are to be adhered to strictly.

The reviewed papers and the corrections recommended done by the authors thereafter are then handed over to the Pertanika Editorial Office for further processing and file keeping, and follow up action.
