Print on demand in academic publishing

Print on demand caters extremely well for individuals, learned societies and institutions that require the option to order a physical book or journal alongside an electronic publication. It takes the guesswork out of how many copies should be produced as scholarly journal issues, books and conference proceedings are printed upon request.

Working from home became a necessity due to lockdown constraints.

Print versus electronic journals

Memory cards with saved content of electronic journals

In a previous article, we covered the topic of how to publish an academic journal or book online. Digital platforms speed up the publishing process, lower production costs and allow for fast updates, corrections and revisions. Yet, in our new media age, there is still an audience for print scholarly journals.

How to choose the right scholarly journal for your paper

Choosing a journal to publish your research in can be time-consuming and even daunting, especially since most scholarly journals discourage multiple submissions in order to safeguard reviewers’ time. It is a common problem, no matter how experienced you are.

The online submissions system of the scientific articles

Text written manually, ready for online submission

Submitting scientific papers: online portals

Sciendo’s journals use ScholarOne and Editorial Manager for online submissions of academic papers. Each journal has its own guidelines; these need to be read carefully before visiting the online submission system.

Are scholarly book reviews effective marketing tools?

Scholarly book reviews have always played a crucial role in informing readers about new academic publications and helping them find authors diffusing research in their field. A well-balanced, engaging and informative book review published in a scholarly journal, especially if penned by a recognised expert, provides valuable exposure for authors, offering visibility, impact and attention.

The power and benefits of effective science communication

Communication of scientific research findings is embedded in an academic’s job description. Scientists give presentations, write papers for academic journals, present the research findings at conferences, communicate with funders through reports and the general public through mass media to inform and educate.

The Journal Impact Factor, what is it?

Scientific journals foster the progress of science by publishing new research findings. However, there are thousands of such journals in publication and their quality differs. Therefore institutions, authors, readers and librarians need a reliable guideline to choose the right scientific journals to read, cite and stock in libraries.
