The papers are published in Volume 58, Number 12 of the Journal Adv. Space Res. Of the 18 papers, four were led or featured significant contributions from NASA GSFC & JPL authors. The Guest Editors of the special issue were Frank G. Lemoine (Code 61A, Geodesy & Geophysics Laboratory, NASA GSFC) and Ernst J.O. Schrama (Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands).

This special issue marks the third time the DORIS community has published a special issue in a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to scientific and technical aspects of the DORIS technique. The previous special issues dedicated to DORIS were published in the journal Adv. Space Res. (two volumes in 2010) and in the Journal of Geodesy (2006).

The papers of the current special issue (Vol. 58(12), Adv. Space Res, 2016) are available from the following URL:
