Abstract	(unpublished) Article Highlights: 1. Guidelines for best practices and overviews when applying active- or passive-source noninvasive (surface-based) geophysical techniques by the Consortium of Organizations for Strong Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS) Site Characterization Project is introduced for this special issue. 2. Eleven articles are the basis of three key topics, including: six papers about best practices for five select body- and surface-wave techniques; two about the state-of-knowledge through reviews on the use of mathematical inversion solutions and on near-surface shear-wave seismic attenuation as defined by the quality factor (QS); and three about the important topic of uncertainty as contributed by surface-based techniques as demonstrated through numerical or empirical studies. 3. Brief summaries of the ten articles are provided.
Summary	(Plain Language Summary, not published) This is an Introductory article to a Special Issue on Guidelines for global best practices for earthquake site response evaluation. This is the end product of the Consortium of Organizations for Strong Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS) Site Characterization Project and covers a variety of geophysical techniques. This article introduces and summarises, the eleven articles in this Special Issue.
