I'm planning to submit an article to Survey Practice. What is the topic and key submission dates for the upcoming 2026 special issue? Additionally, what is the word limit for a full article submission, and which sections are excluded from this word count?
Navigate to the 'Blog' page on surveypractice.org. Click on the 'ADVANCE NOTICE: Call for Papers - Survey Practice 2026 Special Issue' blog post. Identify the topic of the 2026 special issue and the Call for Papers distribution and submission dates. Navigate to the 'For Authors' page. Locate the manuscript guidelines for 'full articles'. Identify the word count limit for 'full articles' and the specific elements excluded from this count. Synthesize the identified information.
State the exact topic of the 2026 special issue as "Mixed Methods Research: Deepening Our Knowledge Through Integrated Designs." State the Call for Papers distribution week as "August 18th" and the submission due date as "November 14th." State the word count limit for 'full articles' as "2500 words." Explicitly list all elements excluded from the word count: "abstract, footnotes, appendices, tables, figures, and works cited."
