Research monographs require a clearly bounded scholarly question, a demonstrable original contribution, engagement with relevant research, transparent methods or evidence selection, a sustained argument, accurate citations, appropriate rights permissions and a coherent intended readership. Proposals should supply a synopsis, chapter plan, author biography, sample chapters and a comparison with related scholarly books.
Complete manuscripts ordinarily receive evaluation from at least two independent subject specialists when suitable for the project. Review may be double-anonymous when feasible; other arrangements are documented. Acceptance is conditional on satisfactory revisions, legal and ethical checks and an executable production plan.
