By publishing a special issue , you get real policy on a researchable theme , and suddenly you find TRP of journal is substantially increased. They also invite some senior level experts in those theme areas to act as a Guest Editor. Its both the ways , credits are usually shared..
For sure , it has much m9re visibility since special issues are brought with some focussed theme..
Thank you dear Dr. Anoop for your contribution but Sir, the other issues of such journals also have a focused theme. What are those things that make such Special Issue really special.
Thank you

Yes, publishing a paper in special issue will most likely increase the visibility. Publicity starts even before it is published, especially when authors are invited to submit to the issue. When the special issue is published, the Guest Editors will write editorial and this contributes to the wider dissemination of the special issue. Again, because it attracts authors from diverse background, this may help to increase publicity and visibility.
Thank you Dr. Emeka W. Dumbili for your insightful contribution to the discussion. Publicity before the publication and the special guest editors inputs are some of the attractions for increased visibility.

Special issues are papers that focus on more stringently defined research areas. Ideally, leading experts in the respective fields are invited to contribute in such issues as authors. Hence, to be up to date with what other leading research groups are doing, you will need to see these issues. So yes, the visibility of such papers are enhanced, in a way, to reach the target audience.
Thank you Dr. Anthony Ezeribe for you concise input to the discussion.

Special issue of any open access journal is a wonderful concept , from the point of view of concretising any focussed theme..
Special issue editions have more concrete themes as focused on particular topics. If it can be accessed openly then there will surely be high visibility.
In my best knowledge, special issue of a journal will definitely have more visibility because of the specialized and focused theme and the involvement of invited editorial team members.
Thank you

Better vissibility is assured.
Nobody likes waiting, least of all authors whose papers have already been accepted for publication. With VSI, accepted special issue articles are published in a journal’s first available regular issue, ensuring the final, citable article is online faster than with the traditional special issue publication route. Simultaneously, articles appear in a new section on ScienceDirect, set up specifically for a journal and dedicated to VSIs. As more articles are accepted, this special issue grows. VSIs allow us to provide the benefits of speedy publication (in 2014 publication times for special issue content were 4 times slower on average than for regular content), while still offering the thematic and topical grouping of content for readers...
