Following the conference, members of the ISTE Community commonly develop plans for a special issue in a range of journals. Below are the currently planned Special Issues for specific journals. Normally these are done by a member of the TE community inviting the best papers in the conference to submit, where the topics align.

Typically, if you are invited to submit your paper to a special issue, you will need to substantially change the content of the paper to enable it to be sufficiently different from the one published via the conference proceedings, Advances in Transdisciplinary Engineering. This can mean that around 60% of the content of the paper should be different. 

Deadlines for submission to Special Issues normally follow standard, if shortened, journal submission and review processes.
