Edited Volumes

Royal Scientific Publishing LLC welcomes proposals for scholarly edited volumes that bring together original contributions from researchers, academics, scientists, educators, and industry professionals.

What Is an Edited Volume?

An edited volume is a scholarly book consisting of chapters contributed by multiple authors and coordinated by one or more Volume Editors.

Edited volumes may address:

Emerging and rapidly developing research areas
Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary topics
New theories, models, and methodologies
Current research findings and applications
Technology and industry developments
Global and regional perspectives
Research trends and future directions
Specialized academic and professional subjects
