Abstract
This editorial provides insights for academics considering the role of a guest editor for a special issue in Technovation, an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to technological innovation and entrepreneurship. As a guest editor, you have the opportunity to thoroughly explore exciting themes, introduce innovative approaches, and catalyze new research avenues. The editorial also offers guidance on what defines a ‘special’ issue, the balancing act in its scope, and the importance of a well-defined theme to attract quality submissions. Additionally, it examines the roles, management, and responsibilities of guest editors, emphasizing the need for diverse and international guest editor teams. Practical advice on writing the editorial and insights from the author's experience as a special issue editor contribute to the understanding and successful execution of the guest editor role.
