How a proposal is selected?
Once our editorial office receives a proposal, the same is assigned to a content evaluation team for a word on the proposal’s suitability for our content inventory. We engage external subject experts to evaluate book proposals submitted to us. If found suitable, we convey our decision to the author to complete follow-on formalities, i.e. signing authorship-cum-publishing agreement (provisional), copyright declarations, provision of full-text content, review timeline, etc. Once the full-text is reviewed and accepted for its publication, the signed provisional authorship-cum-publishing agreement becomes final and operative. And, the book’s technical editing and publishing is undertaken by us.
