Abstract :
The concept for this issue was to highlight work outside the orthodoxy of the usual topics. It was meant to showcase "outside-the-box" topics that tend to not make it into the usual fora for the simple reason that people are not quite sure what the rules are for reviewing unorthodox ideas. Unorthodox ideas are (tautologically) unorthodox, so cannot be compared in a direct way, hence cannot be argued suited for publication by comparison, and so on. The conundrum is clear. (Of course the conundrum is not clear; the fact that it is one is clear.)
