Guest editors get the same recognition that regular journal editors get. I.e., not much - though their home institutions should recognise the volume as an edited volume when bean-counting. That said, they have the possibility of writing an introductory chapter/editorial that will be cited and the end results are typically of much better quality (assuming we are talking about refereed journals). Think of it as a service to the community, much like reviewing fairly when journals request reviews!

good point Zbigniew, I think you are right that the editors should be credited, though I admit that I have not been consistent in doing so - will try to do so from now on

Dear All,
I would like to hear your opinion on a problem that comes up every now and then. How do you refer to papers that are published in a proceedings volume? Of course, it is easy if the volume makes a separate book – then the editors get full credentials automatically. But what about proceedings published in journals? Do you refer to them simply as journal articles, i.e., depriving the editors of their credit, or do you refer to papers in special issues with all details? What happens to the “excessive” details (edited by…/In…) in your manuscripts submitted to JCR-indexed journals that press for space? Do the editors of your manuscripts delete such details?
I guess everyone can name a few examples of journal proceedings. Personally, I prefer them to book proceedings. The good thing is that they are usually easier to get and circulate much better. Another advantage (for the authors of particular papers) is that JCR journals count higher in various evaluation procedures. But many months of the editors’ hard work may just go unnoticed, especially with the passing of time. Is there anything we can do about it?
Best wishes,
Zbigniew

A stimulus to writing the message were the proceedings of the last BWG meeting that are now being published in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology. The special issue “Birds and Archaeology: New research” was edited by Luminita Bejenaru and Dale Serjeantson.
