Book Series: Information for Authors and Editors

This page explains how to publish a book in the IJPSC Book Series. The rules of the series are set out in the Book Series Policies.

1. Proposals

Authors and prospective volume editors send a short proposal to editor@ijpsc.org. The proposal contains:

  • title and, if applicable, subtitle;
  • a summary of the book (about one page);
  • a table of contents;
  • the intended readership;
  • a short CV of the author or volume editors with their institutional affiliation;
  • for edited volumes, the planned contributors and topics;
  • information on any earlier publication of the work or parts of it.

The series editors decide whether to invite a complete manuscript.

2. Manuscripts

  • Manuscripts are submitted complete and ready for publication as Word files, together with all figures and tables.
  • Citations and references follow APA 7th edition.
  • Text alternatives are provided for diagrams and figures so that the online edition is accessible to readers using screen readers.
  • Any substantive use of generative artificial intelligence is disclosed, as described in the Publication Ethics & Research Integrity Policy.
  • Interviews must have been conducted with real persons.
  • Permissions for third-party material must be obtained by the author before submission.

3. Review and Decision

Each manuscript undergoes editorial review by the series editors and single-blind external peer review, as described in section 4 of the Book Series Policies. The author receives the review reports, revises the manuscript where required and submits a final version. The series editors then decide on publication.

4. Publishing Agreement

After acceptance, the author or volume editors conclude a publishing agreement with the publisher, the Jung-Stilling-Gesellschaft e.V. Copyright remains with the author. The book is published under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.

5. Production

The publisher’s team typesets the book, assigns ISBNs and DOIs and registers the metadata with Crossref. Authors check the proofs before publication.

6. Costs

There are no book processing charges. Authors receive 50 complimentary printed copies. Further printed copies can be ordered at the author’s cost.
