Author Guidelines

Welcome to our Author Guidelines. To ensure your work finds its ideal home, we have organised our publications into four primary categories. Please review the following descriptions to determine which best aligns with your manuscript:

1. Books

  • Peer-Reviewed Books: Scholarly works subjected to rigorous external expert evaluation. This category encompasses a wide range of academic contributions, including peer-reviewed/refereed textbooks, reference books, monographs, research books, academic handbooks, case study collections, methodology books, research methods books, revised doctoral theses, postdoctoral research monographs, and interdisciplinary research books. These titles are published as both e-books and print books, depending on the publishing plan you select, and are assigned an e-ISBN, ISBN, and DOI. Furthermore, all titles are indexed in global databases, including Google Scholar and others. If you are interested in publishing under this category, please follow our Manuscript Preparation and Submission Guidelines.

This category includes non-peer-reviewed textbooks, reference books, monographs, research books, academic handbooks, case study collections, methodology books, research methods books, revised doctoral theses, postdoctoral research monographs, and interdisciplinary research books. These titles are published as both e-books and print books, depending on the publishing plan you select, and are assigned an e-ISBN, ISBN, and DOI.
