Share Your Book Idea with SIRG

Scientific Innovation Research Group (SIRG) welcomes book ideas and publishing proposals in academic, scientific, educational, and professional fields that align with our publishing program and standards.

If you have an idea for a scholarly book, edited volume, research monograph, textbook, professional reference, or another academic publication, we invite you to share it with our editorial team for an initial assessment.

Our editors will consider the academic relevance, originality, potential readership, scholarly contribution, subject fit, and overall feasibility of the proposed project.

Please note: Submitting a book idea does not constitute acceptance or a commitment to publish. Publication decisions are made only after the appropriate editorial and, where applicable, external evaluation processes have been completed.

What Can You Submit?

We are interested in proposals for a range of scholarly and professional publications, including:

  • Research monographs

  • Academic and scientific books

  • Edited books and multi-author volumes

  • Textbooks and educational resources

  • Professional and reference books

  • Research-based technical books

  • Interdisciplinary academic books

  • Book series and proposed book projects

  • Other scholarly works that fit the SIRG publishing program

For more information about the types of books considered by SIRG, please visit our Types of Books page.

Before You Submit Your Idea

Before contacting our editorial team, please consider the following:

1. Originality and Contribution

Your proposed book should offer a meaningful academic, scientific, educational, professional, or practical contribution.

Please briefly explain:

  • What is new or distinctive about the proposed book?

  • What problem, research area, or educational need does it address?

  • How does it contribute to the existing literature?

  • Why is the book relevant to its intended audience?

2. Scope and Subject Area

The proposed project should fall within an academic, scientific, educational, or professional area compatible with SIRG's publishing program.

Interdisciplinary proposals are welcome when they have a clear scholarly purpose and identifiable target audience.

3. Authorship and Contributors

Please identify the proposed author(s), editor(s), and, where applicable, contributing authors.

All contributors are expected to satisfy appropriate authorship or contributor criteria. The final list of authors and contributors must accurately reflect their substantive contributions to the work.

4. Previous or Concurrent Submission

Please disclose whether the same or substantially similar book proposal has previously been submitted to, is currently being considered by, or has been contracted with another publisher.

SIRG encourages transparent communication regarding the status of a proposed project.

Submitting the same proposal to multiple publishers without disclosure may create ethical and editorial complications.

Editorial Assessment and Review

SIRG follows an editorial process designed to support academic quality, integrity, fairness, transparency, and responsible scholarly publishing.

A typical process may include:

If the idea is considered potentially suitable, the author/editor may be invited to submit a more comprehensive book proposal.

4. Editorial and External Evaluation
The proposal may be assessed by SIRG editors and, where appropriate, independent academic or professional reviewers.

Based on the available evidence and evaluations, SIRG may decide to proceed, request revisions or additional information, or decline the proposal.

If the proposal is approved, the next stage may involve discussion and execution of an appropriate publishing agreement.

The completed manuscript will be subject to the applicable editorial, quality, ethical, and review procedures before publication.

Confidentiality and Editorial Independence

Information submitted to SIRG for editorial consideration will be handled with appropriate confidentiality.

Editorial decisions are based on the academic, professional, ethical, and publishing merits of the proposed project. Submission of an idea does not guarantee acceptance, publication, or a publishing contract.
