I have received an email to contribute to a Research Topic, what is it about?

You have received an email to contribute to a Research Topic, but you are not sure what this entails. A Frontiers Research Topics are collections of at least ten articles, and are centered about hot topics in a particular research area. The topic is suggested and organized entirely by the topic editors and all accepted articles are published open access upon acceptance. Once the Topic is concluded all published articles are put together in an e-book which can be freely distributed and easily cited.

For more information see our Research Topic page and examples of already published e-books.
