Abstract
Choosing where to publish your research can be a daunting prospect. In this seminar, World Scientific will be presenting on the unique merits and benefits of publishing books and journal articles with them. This will include insight into the multifaceted and sustained support which their team of editors provide from the very germination of a research project to its publication and the lifetime of its marketing and sales. They will also be explaining the manuscript submission process, highlighting their key journals in the field of Robotics, and discussing how they can support conferences, workshops, and summer schools, followed by a 10-minute Q&A session.
With more than 100 Nobel Laureates and Fields medallists in their catalogue and weekly visits to their authors at Imperial, UCL, Oxford, Cambridge, and — of course — Queen Mary University, World Scientific is an international academic publisher who pride themselves on expert and personalized author support at every stage of production.
