The academic book publishing sector has a key function when it comes to knowledge production and dissemination across various disciplines. For researchers, scholars, and educators, the process of moving from concept to publication is rarely a trivial task, and often involves the use of imagination, perseverance, and teamwork. Publishing a monograph, an edited volume or a textbook, or turning your thesis into a book can be painful. This book will help you demystify the world of academic book publishing, offering authors a guide to navigating the complicated process with success. This guide aims to provide authors with the knowledge of tools and resources needed to publish a book that reflects their research. If you want a sneak peek into the workings of scholarly publishing, it features advice from senior authors, publishers and academics with an intimate familiarity with the academic publishing process. Divided into chapters, the book covers the major elements of the publishing journey: steps to writing the proposal, advice on working with publishers, and challenges of the current moment, like open access and new fields of study. The first step to getting published is learning to write a scholarly manuscript or book proposal. Writers need to know how to present their research in front of potential publishers. It necessitates, then, not just a firm grasp on the work in question but a facility for conveying the relevance of the work and its potential to make a difference. Therefore, it is very important to tread carefully through the relationship with the publishers, as the success of publishing partnerships relies heavily on trust, collaboration, and shared vision for the book. Open access publishing for scientific journals has played an increasingly important role in the ever-evolving academic world. There are new ways for authors to disseminate their work and increase the accessibility of research through open access. It is an exciting time to be an author, but it is also a challenging time in terms of financial viability and finding new publishing models. This section deeply studies the influence of open access so that authors can better develop books around it. Many students work years on their theses, and getting them published can greatly aid their academic careers. It is not simply editing; this means changing the format to suit for wider academic publication and conforming to the expectations of the publisher. This book is a road map for authors making this transition. For authors in emerging or interdisciplinary fields, publishing can bring unique challenges. There may not be established publishing pathways in these fields, or the intended audience may be smaller and more specialized. Despite these challenges, there are great rewards to publishing in such fields, and this book outlines strategies to achieve their success. Authors will discover how to seek the ideal publisher, determine their target market, and how to frame their work to have a noteworthy effect in their area. Technological advancements, global trends, and academic expectations have all combined to shape the future of academic book publishing. By the end of this book, readers will be equipped with a fundamental understanding of the academic publishing process. From preparing manuscripts and working with publishers to navigating new models of publishing, this guide arms authors with practical advice and strategies to ensure their research becomes a published book. It is our goal that this book helps those who hope to disseminate their research through publication of scholarly books.

If you work in a university, you are almost certain to have heard the term 'open access' in the past couple of years. You may also have heard either that it is the utopian answer to all the problems of research dissemination or perhaps that it marks the beginning of an apocalyptic new era of 'pay-to-say' publishing. In this book, Martin Paul Eve sets out the histories, contexts and controversies for open access, specifically in the humanities. Broaching practical elements alongside economic histories, open licensing, monographs and funder policies, this book is a must-read for both those new to ideas about open-access scholarly communications and those with an already keen interest in the latest developments for the humanities. This title is also available as Open Access via Cambridge Books Online.

How to transform a thesis into a publishable work that can engage audiences beyond the academic committee. When a dissertation crosses my desk, I usually want to grab it by its metaphorical lapels and give it a good shake. “You know something!” I would say if it could hear me. “Now tell it to us in language we can understand!” Since its publication in 2005, From Dissertation to Book has helped thousands of young academic authors get their books beyond the thesis committee and into the hands of interested publishers and general readers. Now revised and updated to reflect the evolution of scholarly publishing, this edition includes a new chapter arguing that the future of academic writing is in the hands of young scholars who must create work that meets the broader expectations of readers rather than the narrow requirements of academic committees. At the heart of From Dissertation to Book is the idea that revising the dissertation is fundamentally a process of shifting its focus from the concerns of a narrow audience—a committee or advisors—to those of a broader scholarly audience that wants writing to be both informative and engaging. William Germano offers clear guidance on how to do this, with advice on such topics as rethinking the table of contents, taming runaway footnotes, shaping chapter length, and confronting the limitations of jargon, alongside helpful timetables for light or heavy revision. Germano draws on his years of experience in both academia and publishing to show writers how to turn a dissertation into a book that an audience will actually enjoy, whether reading on a page or a screen. He also acknowledges that not all dissertations can or even should become books and explores other, often overlooked, options, such as turning them into journal articles or chapters in an edited work. With clear directions, engaging examples, and an eye for the idiosyncrasies of academic writing, he reveals to recent PhDs the secrets of careful and thoughtful revision—a skill that will be truly invaluable as they add “author” to their curriculum vitae.

Since 2001 William Germano’s Getting It Published has helped thousands of scholars develop a compelling book proposal, find the right academic publisher, evaluate a contract, handle the review process, and, finally, emerge as published authors. But a lot has changed in the past seven years. With the publishing world both more competitive and more confusing—especially given the increased availability of electronic resources—this second edition of Germano’s best-selling guide has arrived at just the right moment. As he writes in a new chapter, the “via electronica” now touches every aspect of writing and publishing. And although scholars now research, write, and gain tenure in a digital world, they must continue to ensure that their work meets the requirements of their institutions and the needs of their readers. Germano, a veteran editor with experience in both the university press and commercial worlds, knows this audience. This second edition will teach readers how to think about, describe, and pitch their manuscripts before they submit them. They’ll discover the finer points of publishing etiquette, including how to approach a busy editor and how to work with other publishing professionals on matters of design, marketing, and publicity. In a new afterword, they’ll also find helpful advice on what they can—and must—do to promote their work. A true insider’s guide to academic publishing, the second edition of Getting It Published will help authors understand what to expect from the publishing process, from manuscript to finished book and beyond.

The academic caveat Publish or Perish is not a new one, and for over a quarter of a century, The Thesis and the Book has come to the aid of graduate students in their quest for publication. The doctoral dissertation, usually the first book-length study completed by a scholar, is, however, only rarely publishable as a book. Understanding the differences between the two forms is a crucial part of one's education as a scholar and is equally important in appreciating the endeavours of scholarly publishers. The Thesis and the Book: A Guide for First-Time Academic Authors, revised and expanded in this second edition, will continue to provide the best overview of the process of revising a dissertation for publication. Drawing on the expertise of the contributors, all of whom are editors, publishers, and scholars themselves, the chapters present the rudimentary differences between a thesis and a book (including matters of purpose and audience), give guidance on the necessary stylistic, technical, and structural revisions to the dissertation, and offer advice to first-time authors who must not only revise their work to satisfy prospective publishers, but also learn a good deal of the ins and outs of scholarly publishing. The Thesis and the Book will continue to be of great value to graduating doctoral students seeking publication and to the faculty members who supervise these students. It will also be of value to acquisitions editors at scholarly presses, who must contend with the submission of revised dissertations for publication.

Successful completion of postgraduate studies, especially PhD, and career advancement in academia strongly depend on the ability to publish scientific papers or books and attract research grants. However, many chemical scientists find preparing scientific papers and research grant and book proposals difficult; partly because of insufficient training in writing and partly because there are few practical books to enable them to learn the art. This step-by-step practical guide is intended mainly for postgraduate students and early career researchers in chemical science and the libraries that serve them but will also be useful to other scientists. Key Features: Improves the reader’s chances of getting their manuscript published in chemistry journals. Increases the likelihood of winning research grants in chemistry. Takes a “lead by the hand” approach. Contains chapters on the preparation of graphical abstracts and research highlights. Uses sketches and other illustration styles to aid mental visualization of concepts. Contains practical examples taken from published papers and successful research grant proposals.
