Instructions for Authors

AnaPub Book Series - Instructions for Authors

The series publishes monographs, edited volumes, Conference series and textbooks. To submit a proposal, please fill in the “Book Proposal Form”, available under “Services for the Series”.

Each proposal and manuscript are reviewed by the AnaPub Editorial team or other subject experts. The peer review workflow is as follows: a proposal is accepted for inclusion in the series after it meets the required standards of the Publisher in that it addresses the reviewers' recommendations.

The review of manuscripts is as follows: edited volumes are reviewed by the editors of the book (the manuscript submitted to the publisher is final); monographs are peer reviewed by subject experts.

Ethical Requirements:

Authors and editors have to follow our Publication Ethics which can be found http://anapub.co.ke/books/book_series/ancct/publication_ethics.html
