Publication Procedure

Overview of the publication procedure

The following notes provide a summary of the ADROID Book Series publishing process.

  1. Submit a Book Proposal online.
  2. The ADROID Book Series team will review the proposal and write to confirm if we can accept the proposal.
  3. The editors must inform authors of the ADROID Publishing Licence.
  4. Authors prepare their papers in accordance to our guidelines and templates.
  5. Authors submit their papers to the book editors via the management platform and book editors act as editors managing the peer review process. Once review of the papers is completed the book editors submit the final papers to ADROID Book Series with a single click. Papers submitted to ADROID Publishing must be in PDF format and in their final version ready for publication. ADROID Publishing does not edit or proofread papers after they are submitted. Please ensure that any changes have been approved by authors prior to the PDFs being submitted to ADROID Publishing.
  6. Submitted papers will be assessed by the ADROID Book Series team to ensure they meet the standards of quality required by ADROID Publishing. We check for adherence to our publisher policies, the fit of papers to our journal scope and the general quality of a paper. Any papers that do not meet these standards will be communicated to the editors.
  7. Production and publication. We will process the PDFs into a format suitable for publication and upload them to our pre-publication servers. The communicating editor will be sent a username and password to access that server to make a final check of the proceedings before final publication. Please note the following important points:
    • Once a paper has been published online, changes will only be permitted in cases of serious scientific error. In those cases, an erratum or corrigendum will be published according to the standard practices of professional scientific publishing.
    • Change requests relating to stylistic issues cannot be made to book once they are published, so it is important that authors and editors ensure papers have been adequately checked and proofread prior to submission.
  8. Upon publication we will write to authors (who have supplied an e-mail address) informing them of publication and providing them with a link to their paper.
