Are you an academic leader or subject matter expert looking to drive scientific discussion within your discipline? DScholar Press International has formally announced an open global invitation for researchers, senior faculty members, and independent scholars to curate comprehensive Edited Books and Edited Volumes as Volume Editors.
With global publication structures across fields like Social Sciences, Humanities, Management, Law, Education, Science, and Technology, this call provides an elite platform to build scholarly authority while complying completely with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines.
Key Features and Advantages for Volume Editors
Publishing an edited volume through DScholar Press International provides critical features designed to elevate citation impact and preserve scholarly work long-term:
- Global Credibility Identifiers: Every published title receives an international ISBN, alongside permanent Crossref Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for digital book chapters to track citation impact easily.
- Dual Distribution Formats: Titles are compiled and distributed internationally in both digital E-Book layouts and premium physical Print-on-Demand formats.
- Continuous Rolling Submissions: There are no restrictive due dates. Volume editors can develop proposals and submit metadata at their own convenience when fully prepared.
- Strategic Indexing Support: Dedicated assistance helps format and track qualifying books for consideration in major global databases such as SCOPUS, Web of Science, BASE, and Google Books.
- Annual Royalty Sharing: Volume editors receive a recurring annual royalty derived directly from the net commercial revenue generated by their publication.
Roles and Responsibilities of a Volume Editor
As the lead orchestrator of an edited volume, your primary responsibilities will cover four main areas of coordination:
- Conceptualization: Outlining an academically rigorous structural framework and objective thematic outline for the book.
- Contributor Coordination: Directing the call for chapters, inviting authors, and organizing foundational communications.
- Collaboration: Working seamlessly with joint co-editors to diversify the book’s interdisciplinary outreach.
- Editorial Integrity: Enforcing structural benchmarks, ethical writing conventions, and content assembly.
Understanding the Peer-Review Track
Depending on the specific book series, formatting goals, or indexing tracks, edited volumes can follow one of two specialized review processes determined at the project’s launch:
- Peer-Reviewed Volumes: Dispatched through a rigorous external double-blind or editorial board evaluation phase ensuring high academic recognition.
- Non-Peer-Reviewed Volumes: Guided through rapid, streamlined internal workflows managed by internal advisory advisory frameworks.
