(a) is not attractive to large commercial publishers;
(b) does not meet the strict guidelines of regular scientific journals; and
(c) may only be required in relatively small numbers.
The prime area of interest is material connected with the natural sciences or environmental
issues. Aside from the Evolution and Biogeography of Australasian Vertebrates in production,
other titles under consideration include Freshwater Crayfishes of Australia and Australian
Wines – Production and Industry Trends. Manuscripts submitted are initially assessed by the
editor and specialists consulted if it is considered necessary.
Options are considered before any decisions are taken on publication, but flexibility in
presentation and to meet individual requirements are priorities. Although based in Sydney,
where most of the printing is done, design and layout as well as typesetting is completed in
the United Kingdom by an associated company. |
