from John Leibacher

The journal Solar Physics publishes one or two Topical Issues (TIs) per year dedicated to a focused topic, frequently with a small number of survey articles introducing regular unsolicited articles, all of which benefit from appearing together. Not infrequently, these stem from a monothematic conference or conferences, but all articles submitted for consideration for a TI are handled and refereed in the same way as regular research articles, and submissions not associated with the conference are solicited. Recent TIs include New eyes looking at solar activity: Challenges for theory and simulations and The Many Scales of Solar Activity in Solar Cycle 24 as seen by SDO.

To aid in our planning, we solicit statements of interest from potential Guest Editors of Topical Issues by 01 March 2015.
