| Quality of the publisher: - use Think, Check, Submit to find reputable, well known publishers - spend time researching their editorial practices and outputs - check with your professional network and seek advice from your colleagues | |
| Read any contract presented to you carefully. | |
| Print on demand books and self-publishing: - these may not meet the peer review or scholarly editing standards of a scholarly work | |
| Open access: - see the Open Access guide for information about open access at UNSW - you can consult the OAPEN Open Access books toolkit for an introduction to open access book publishing | |
| If you are approached by a publisher: - be cautious! This is not considered standard behaviour in the publishing industry, especially in publishing for academic audiences |
