Book Publishing - Science topic

Ah I see dear Ahmed Halfadji Your “As of March…” seemed to suggest that something drastic was going to change in the Scopus policy which is not the case.

Your link looks legit but somehow personally I do not trust this website. For example they have no contact info (physical address is absent). Furthermore, they have a list of impact factors which is a copyrighted property of Clarivate (so not entirely legal).

Anyway, for the most recent list of Scopus indexed, accepted and discontinued titles I go to https://www.scopus.com/home.uri just click on “Scopus source list”

Best regards.

Thank you Peter Breuer . You know a lot about this and I am paying attention. If not for your latest post I would have submitted it to RG just to get a DOI number regardless of the lack of respect. I am now delaying taking any action until thinking some more about you said.

Dear Viola Tsing,

Finding SSCI journals in Politics or International Relations that are both relatively easy and fast to publish in can be challenging, as it often depends on the journal’s scope, review process, and the quality of the submission. However, some journals are known for their faster turnaround times and openness to a wider range of topics. You might consider journals like Global Governance, International Politics, or Foreign Policy Analysis, as they cover broad areas in international relations and politics. Additionally, Review of International Studies and The Hague Journal of Diplomacy might also be worth exploring.

I recommend checking each journal’s website for specific submission guidelines, acceptance rates, and average review times. Also, networking with peers in your field or contacting editorial teams directly can provide insight into their publishing process.

Great

Thank you so much Rob Keller sir for your response, it would be very helpful for me.

To get your thesis accepted in a reputable ISI journal, ensure that your implementation is:

1. Original: Offers a novel contribution or solution.

2. Well-Researched: Thoroughly reviews and builds on existing literature.

3. Methodologically Sound: Uses clear, reproducible methods.

4. Significant: Demonstrates clear advantages or improvements over existing work.

5. Well-Written: Communicates ideas clearly and is well-organized.

Meeting these criteria increases your chances of acceptance.

Hi all, I've revised my questions for more details. Please take a look. Cheers

Maybe parapsychology.

I had a poor experience with the standard option of hybrid option journals. Last year month in February (2023.02.17), I submitted my manuscript. The editor rejected my manuscript after 16 months (2024.06.13) without giving any specific opportunity to defend the reviewers' query. But the same manuscript is under the second review and it's now a better journal. So, don't be upset......

Can I get indexing information

I Think Self publication can be a good option for you.

read the following article for further motivation :)

Should You Self-Publish Your Research?

In 1901, Beatrix Potter’s “The Tales of Peter Rabbit” was rejected by several publishers, so she self-published the book. Less than a year later, publisher Frederick Warne & Co., one of the original group of publishers who rejected her manuscript, became Beatrix Potter’s publisher. The relationship lasted for 40 years and led to the publication of over 23 books. Over a century later, over two million books, which have been authored by Beatrix Potter, are sold each year!

Ramon ferreiro garcia yes thank you professor

Appreciated Christy as we continue soldiering in academic gymnastics

Alexander would you like to hire money.

ACS

Based on my experiences, once the publication is officially released, all the major indices, including Web of Science (formerly Thomson Reuters), Scopus, PsycINFO, and INSPEC, will have access to the book content to review for potential inclusion into their records. As such, they will notify the publisher if your publication is of interest, and you will be informed of any new indexing developments. The selection criteria is also based on the amount of highly cited content, practical relevance and contribution to the field of research. The publisher does not have control cannot guarantee that the content will be indexed.

Thanks for the information

Thank you. SP

Dear Nancy Ann Watanabe , I have published many books, but I am not experienced with publishing practice neither in US, nor in England. Thanks for sharing the question.

I am looking for a call for book chapters related to agriculture

Dear colleagues, I agree with you.

Everyone has the right to have their own philosophy and to form their own picture of the world. However, in this case we should divide all philosophers into four groups:

- everyday philosophers (all our friends, colleagues and close people);

- philosophers "due to circumstances" (philosophers of disciplinary branches of science);

- intellectual philosophers (philosophers who are attracted by the possibility of constructing intellectual hypotheses of amazing beauty);

- and professional philosophers (compilers of general contexts of cognition of the world).

The answer to the question: what does the world really look like? – fundamentally interesting only to a small group of professional philosophers (compilers of general contexts of cognition of the world). I am sure that a person cannot ask a question that he cannot answer. Therefore, in the question: what is the world? – its uniqueness is already being pointed out. However, there may be many interpretations from other groups of philosophers. For example, some philosophers-physicists assume the existence of a plurality of worlds. A beautiful worldview picture! But this picture does not negate the question of what a single world looks like, within which many worlds are located. Probably, Plato's statement that a professional philosopher should lead the state should be considered in this context. Probably, only a philosopher can organize the governance of the state by bringing the philosophical statements of four groups of philosophers (members of society) to a universal law that determines the unity of the world. Therefore, we can look at the world, admire its objects and processes, as well as our thoughts about the world. But we must definitely see a one and only world (objects, processes and our thoughts about them, through the prism of systems transdisciplinary models of universal order, which encode each object, process and our thoughts).

In conclusion, it is important to say about the increased responsibility of a professional philosopher. The area of responsibility of a professional philosopher should not be limited only to the formation of a picture of the world. This area should extend to the following chain of actions: description of the picture of the world; creation of an appropriate concept (basic judgments and axioms); creation of methodology (models of cognition of the world and rethinking its high–threshold problems); description of technological ideas (ways to solve high-threshold problems of nature and society); creation of a method of risk analysis from the implementation of the proposed concepts, methodology, technological ideas (security of the world and society). Simply put, during the changing scenarios of the world order and socio-economic crises, professional philosophers, not professional military, should speak.

You can read about the picture of the unified world and the ways of its cognition in these articles:

ChatGPT is already starting to impact peer review in scholarly publishing. While there is a constant debate surrounding whether artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of fully replacing human peer reviewers or not, it is being used to assist with certain aspects of the peer review process. For example, some publishers are using AI tools to screen submissions for plagiarism or to identify potential conflicts of interest. Other publishers are using AI to help identify suitable reviewers based on their areas of expertise and past performance...

AI tools can assist with certain aspects of the review process, such as identifying potential conflicts of interest or language biases, but they cannot replace the expertise and judgment of human reviewers.

Human reviewers bring a level of subject matter expertise and critical thinking that cannot be replicated by AI tools. They can identify important scientific insights, evaluate the quality of the research methodology, and provide nuanced feedback that goes beyond what an algorithm can offer...

Good luck,

Raphael Neelamkavil,

I have long ago come to terms with this. It is simply the way the world works. I do appreciate your supportive remarks.

My revelation came from an article in Science News, a weekly newsletter, in the mid-1990's. A heart surgeon from Central America had developed a procedure to excise portions of an enlarged heart. He had a 50% survival rate. Since the normal outcome was 0%, his procedure was a break through.

The surgeon tried for three years to inform others of his technique. Finally, he presented at a conference on a separate topic. Instead of presenting the designated topic, he presented his break through surgical technique. Before they could stop his presentation, the Mayo Clinic had picked up on it.

I knew after reading about this surgeon who had both credibility and an easily demonstrated topic that the chances of ever gaining an audience was almost nil. Nevertheless, I continue to persist.

This is just the way that life works. I would not look for a culprit in the process. The publishers have their own challenges and must deal with the different communities. I think the best for which one can hope is to find someone with whom your thoughts and findings can be shared. There are no villains, everyone is constrained by this.

It depends on whether a researcher is an open-minded or otherwise. Restricting an open-minded researcher to publish a single study per annum will limit scientific propagation and technological advancement. In fact, it will take us back to pre-information explosion period where only a tiny fraction of scholars was allowed to contribute to the growth of knowledge. By any physical laws, this is impossible. It seems to restrict human thinking thereby limiting human intelligence and accelerating or retarding machine intelligence. This idea will be detrimental especially if looked at from the high scaled up of global problems like health emergency, global warming, etc. There's a paradigm shift from publishing to perish to share or perish nowadays, which implies the negative consequences will be greater than the benefits to derive from. The only thing to think in this regard is the review process: it has to measure many variables such as quality, validity, reliability, replicability, etc in quantity. Narrowing down the growth of knowledge to just one paper per year will have many consequences on psychology, sociology, economy, geography, environment, health, technology, etc. of the global population. It will limit critical thinking, reading, reflection, among others, which is detriment to the growth and development of scholarship unless proven otherwise in the future. Thinking in this way is epistemophobia

See these previous discussions:

Most journals seem not to have a problem with preprints, but some journals generally demand to delete the preprint before accepting a paper, or their plagiarism checker cuases a problem. There may be also other arguments against preprints. See also these discussions:

This is general thinking of the every scholars who have defended their Thesis and completed all the issues after doctoral degrees.

It is possible to publish a book or e-book according to your needs.

You can publish an articles of four or five as many as the Specific objectives in your thesis/dissertation.

Publication of the books that you need to have ISBN whereas the article that should have ISSN with DOI numbers are required with Scopus Indexed Journals etc.

This is era of publishing in standard publishers Name, Country, Type of the Journals and the quality have to be considered before submitting for publication.

HI

I think Elsevier are world wide providers of information and solutions to the professionals, but springer publishers are having access to million of documents pertaining to jounal, books, reference work, protocols and proceedings...and many more.....

Book publishing companies are lots distributed all over the world according to different displines like .Academic press,library of congress ISBN,Elsevier,s science&Technology.Amazon also

Improve it

Which Publishing Path is Best for YOU & Your Unique Author Needs?

Hello, I suggest using the Hewings grammar/vocabulary series, FCE/CAE practice books, and as a source of reference, Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English.

Qualified articles published in professional journals for books in the field of research

Depends on the subject. Certainly OUP, CUP & Yale are up near the top

You may find some useful information in these previous discussions:

But please be warned of Lambert Academic Publication:

No ,every person posses capability in his field ,multimedia online book is totally differ line for book publisher

I think these two could help you out:

I would like to be part

Best regards

I am interested in this discussion. I can't give advice. because I also experienced the same confusion. please allow me to listen to the answers from the experts.

Thank you for your suggestions. Chemical Ecology of Insects by Jun Tabata appears to be a relevant book.

Thank you for your answer Nawel Zaatout. However, the most important databases actually vary depending on geographical location, language and field of research. Salatino & Ruiz (2021) have conducted an empirical research on 10.104 scientific journals from Latin America and showed that, for this group of journals, the most important databases are Latindex, DOAJ, Redalyc and Scielo.

All classifications are up to people.

Everybody will tell you that the history of humanity started around 5,150 years ago. Of course, not the same wording would be used. The phrase would be like this. The history of mankind is recorded history. In other words, our history began only when humanity invented writing.

The reason is simple and very convincing. The magic word is convenience. It is much easier to work with historical facts and artifacts if you have written records about them. It is hard to work with only archeological or similar data. The history with existed written records is a comfort zone for everybody. Any choice of the beginning of the history of humankind as a date before first writing will throw researchers and the public out of this comfort zone.

When did the Agricultural Revolution happen? Well, it began many thousands of years before writing was invented. If the history of mankind began in 3150 BC, then that revolution is thrown from the history of humanity into prehistory.

I consider humankind's history, as the one, which started in 42000 BC. Why exactly at this date?

Do you think this is a scam?

You must look at local publishers.

Yes, it may also be taken as one of the base!

Dear Rahmat, it depends whether you want to publish your book in a renown publishing house (such as Springer Nature or Elsevier), or whether you would be fine with just publishing it somewhere. There are lots of self-publishing models such as Lulu, Blurb or CreateSpace. You can read more here: https://mashable.com/2009/03/01/publish-book/?europe=true

Thanks for your love for dear country. But, the content of the manuscript covers global readership including Nigeria but with special emphasis in United States. However, I will like to know the terms of book publication in Babcock university. If I find it favourable, I can separate the Nigeria case and publish with your famous university. My phone number is : 08066806702. Email: sam31628@gmail.com. You can send me your phone number so that we can discuss in detail. Remain ever bless Sir for humanitarian service

Hi Eugene,

That is good and valid point that Igor has raised. Many a times, a grant is a reason for a group of academic to "commence" working together. They had come together to apply for a common objective (the grant) and getting it means that have to fulfil the requirements expediently, with obligations.

Thank you Igor!

Kind regards

Definitely i will go for self publishing.. to save my time and energy...but care has to be taken..where we are publishing our books..journals..projects and oll...that publishing sector should have gained good will in the market...one work prior to publishing any material of ours, is to do analysis of publishing sector first...rest is okay...

Dear Kflay Gebrehiwot Yaynemsa, I would first check the duration of the contract, the rights of both parties, as well as the details of every article of the contract.

Find a senior scholar near you who knows about that publisher, and who can help you to decide, based on current information. You could very easily be fooled by money-hungry bastards - there are indeed many.

Jack Sarfatti, Everything is wonderful, but I do not perceive it well by ear. Could you write a few words about what is relevant now that excites you and prevents you from thinking about the philosophical question of the origin of nature (the nature of things)?

Publisher has to submit a formal request to the databases along with an application form. The database management would appoint a selection committee for evaluating submissions, if the basic requirements are fulfilled by the publications. This is the general process followed by the databases for journals. Hope more or less a similar process is followed for conference proceedings/book series as well. One can refer the following links to get an idea of the review process/selection criteria followed by Scopus and Web of Science.

It might be worth contacting others who have also mentioned Homo Ludens, either via ResearchGate or at their academic address. However, the first author is not on ResearchGate:

hi,

Best Wishes..

Hans - I suppose that the 'simple' answer would be that the larger the company, the more likely it is to be more widely marketed, circulated and read - and potentially more cited. Unlike journals, texts are not ranked and so the answer does have some subjectivity associated with it. That said, some of the university press publishers i.e. Cambridge Univerity Press and Oxford University Press are well established and can be considered equally prestigious and 'mainstream' than some of the other publishing houses you mention. That said, there are a few that that are probably 'ranked' higher than most - such as Elsevier.

Noor - I don't know this company - but I always advise extreme caution with unsolicited emails like this. They are rarely in your interests.

Regards,

Emad

A few pages (6) is too much to reproduce without permission, or without at least checking how much text the publishing house deems to be permissible. I believe that the general maximum allowed is a couple of hundred words without putting in a specific request. You should contact the publishing house to ask: Search for the web site of the publishing house, then look for a link: "Permissions". Nowadays such a link will often allow you to put in a request and obtain the appropriate authorisation automatically and immediately, but as you are requesting the right to reproduce a substantial amount of translated text, I would suggest that you provide all details and await a response (do take a screenshot of the request). You will need to provide information relating to the eventual publication, and some of this, you might not know as yet. I like to cover all bases by contacting the author as well as one does not always receive a response from publishing houses and I still await permission to reproduce an image from a request put in five years ago (we didn't use that figure!). I'd suggest a web search to find the author's contact information. This is often a couple of boxes on a website, but don't be discouraged – authors tend to be quick to respond and considerably more interesting to communicate with than an automated permissions service! If you are stuck awaiting permissions that never seem to come from the automated service, the author can forward an email for you or provide you with the email for a direct contact, whereupon you will be able to enjoy watching your email pass from one person to another until it eventually lands on the desk of the right person (whose first piece of advice will be to use the automated service that has failed to produce results!). Corresponding with the author frequently results in an interesting exchange, and it can provide additional unpublished information of value when presenting the work or discussing it with colleagues. Good luck!

From a manufacturing engineering perspective. What about the environmental impact of producing books:

Scientific books are collections of chapters=reviews. Standalone reviews are better in terms of dissemination. But the words "book" and "chapter" are magic spells. So every sincere academic-ladder climber wants to have a chapter or two in their lists of publications. Books are usually not "open access," but they are often "open, sesame."
