As we appreciate the hard work, and upon authors consent, we collect these papers to give them another consideration for publication in the yearly Assembled issue. Consequently, and depending on editors' decision and authors' revisions, we plan to publish another Assembled issue, later this year. The JVWR's topical issues allow us to plan, define the topics, enlist editors, and let authors ample time to develop their research. However, the *Assembled* is also a home for papers that have not answered a specific call, but our team of editors and reviewers finds they provide a new contribution to the research of Virtual Worlds. Concurrently, we encourage authors to send us updated research outcomes outside the scope of the topical issues. This publication is also an invitation for you to explore the JVWR previous issues <https://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=9669f73bfd&e=790f62627f>, contribute as authors, and even suggest a new topic as editors of future special issues. See the section "For Issue Editors <https://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=3bb1176257&e=790f62627f>." Each issue is managed by one managing Issue Editor with an option for 2-3 co-editors. The managing issue editor is the prime contact person and the leader behind it.
