Invited Session


Books are an essential tool for disseminating ideas and research results. Books remain a key option for disseminating theories and practices that do not fit within the narrow limits of journal articles. This session offers a pragmatic synthesis for preparing proposals and manuscripts. Against the backdrop of the diversity of publishers and editors, some key tips will be suggested that facilitate publication. To this end, some figures on international book publishing will be presented first. Second, the types of books and their differences will be described. Third, the main issues to be considered in a proposal and a manuscript will be outlined. Fourth, the patterns of evaluation and review will be shown. Finally, we will analyse the SSIS books editorial guidelines.

Organised by Chaime Marcuello Servós, Editor of SAGE Studies in International Sociology books and Current Sociology Monographs
