All submissions must be forwarded electronically to I-Lee@wiu.edu by ****** May 15, 2008 (progressive deadline) ******

FORMATS:

  1. Authored book: Authored books include illustrated chapters delving into discrete and emerging research in niche areas, models, methodologies and concepts. The development duration of an Authored Book takes approximately 11-15 months in total from proposal acceptance to final manuscript. These books include 12-20 chapters on average and total word counts ranging from 105,000 to 135,000 words. Authored books provide a unique opportunity for specific subject analysis and development of your discipline.
  2. Edited book: Edited books include highly-descriptive chapters detailing progressive research in a range of topics and concepts. The development duration of an Edited Book takes approximately 15 months in total from proposal acceptance to final manuscript. These books include 15-25 chapters and word counts ranging from 7,000-10,000 words per chapter. Books of this length allow for a thorough description of specific aspects of your discipline. Each chapter is submitted to a double blind peer-review process through an editorial advisory board created for the development of the publication. Editing a book offers the ability to network with peers and colleagues for the betterment of your specialty and your endeavors.
  3. Handbook of Research: A Handbook of Research is a larger collection of concise and focused information, providing a comprehensive assessment on inclusive topics. We provide two separate formats for the Handbooks of Research, depending on the pool of material available for your subject area. This type of publication, if covering a larger topic with a vast research interest and a broader foci, includes a total of 50+ chapters at about 5,000-7,000 words each. Alternatively, a Handbook of Research also provides a forum for more specific, niche topics that are more underrepresented in mass research circles, where 25+ chapters at 8,000-10,000 words would comprehensively cover all areas of a more narrow and applied theme. The duration of this project would be approximately 20 months.
  4. Encyclopedia: An Encyclopedia is the largest project, consisting of expansive coverage of research and knowledge in your discipline. The number of submissions reaches as many as 250 manuscripts, varying in coverage and length of approximately 1,500-3,500 words. These submissions will also include a list of key terms and definitions. This project warrants an extended time-line of approximately 22+ months.
