Hi everyone,
And thanks to Jason for forwarding on this call from his colleagues editing this
volume. I expressed some concern to Jason about the publisher in question, and he
forwarded my comments on to his colleagues, but whilst I wait for their response I
thought it was important to swiftly raise a gentle word of caution........
Before list members consider submitting to this book, or any other book carried by
IGI Global, please be aware of their reputation. Here are some leads:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vanity_and_predatory_publishing
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5487745/
https://copy-shake-paste.blogspot.com/2007/12/write-only-publications.html
http://bogost.com/blog/writeonly_publication/
https://www.chronicle.com/forums/index.php?topic=90018.0
It's also important to remember that once you publish something with one publisher,
you are rather hampered in publishing it elsewhere.
As a more general rule (beyond just IGI Global), calls for book chapters don't tend
to come with a guarantee from the publisher that the book will be published with
them. High quality publishers will generally wait for the contributors to be signed
up before they fully commit. That can be a first sign to look further into the
quality of the publisher.
Be careful out there, folks.
Dave
