1. There is no charge for inclusion in the finished book. An auxiliary service is available for any authors interested in Open Access. Open Access makes the chapter visible free of charge to anyone in the world who has Internet access.
2. There are no page charges for black and white submissions. Chapters containing color are billed a flat fee regardless of number of publisher-accepted color reproductions.
3. A free copy of the e-book version of the book is sent to the first-listed contributor of each chapter. Additional copies are available at a 20% discount. Publication in digital form takes place at approximately the same time as the printed version.
4. The scientific community is the intended audience. Books are marketed by direct mail, space ads, review copies, online bookstore postings and by our international distributors.
5. The choice of theme and approach are at the discretion of the author but preliminary acceptance is only upon submission of the draft abstract. The line-up of chapters is a constantly changing landscape since discussions, commitments and submissions continue on a daily basis right up to and sometimes beyond the close of each volume.
6. Research results (studies) are the primary type of article desired but review articles are also welcome. The Commentary should deal with innovative ideas, developments, directions, misdirections, areas which need to be explored, future outlook, prior errors, problems, personnel, funding, or trends in the field which will be published separately under your name in a section titled Expert Commentary. The deadlines for the abstract for the Commentary and the full Commentary are the same as for regular articles. Please be sure to list the affiliations of the authors. Short Communications are also subject to the abstract requirement and submission guidelines and deadlines. References and figures are permitted without limitation.
7. An abstract in the following form is required consisting of: 1. 150-500 words; 2. Author affiliations; and 3. Estimated date of chapter submission and Copyright Transfer. Please include the abstract as part of an email and not as an attachment if possible. Acceptance of topics is based partially on which topics have already been accepted for particular volumes. The reply to the draft abstract will contain details about reference styles and other relevant technical details. A reply and decision may be expected within 7 days if the word Abstract is contained within the Subject Line of the email.
8. Contributors are encouraged to submit chapters ranging from 4,000-35,000 words (unless Expert Commentaries or Short Communications). Longer, more extensive contributions are encouraged.

10. Publication is by invitation only. Reviewing is either carried out inhouse at Nova or outside peer-reviewed at the option of the authors. In the latter case, the peer-reviewer's name and affiliation must be included as part of the article to be located at the end after the References. It should be on a separate line two lines below the last reference and start with the words
