SEDA has agreed with Routledge to prepare proposals to be published in the SEDA Focus Series. This Series replaces the SEDA Papers and SEDA Special publications, and brings both SEDA and its authors the opportunity to distribute its publications through a major international publisher.
If you have an idea for a SEDA Focus publication, please complete the short Expression of Interest form below. This can submitted to Wendy Garnham and Chris Mitchell, Co-Chairs of SEDA Papers Committee, or via the SEDA Office. This will be reviewed by members of the Papers Committee. Selected proposals will be assigned an Advisory Editor, who will support the submission of a full proposal to the Papers Committee and Routledge.
This is Routledge’s description of their Focus publications:
“Routledge Focus are short form titles available very quickly as eBooks and print-on-demand Hardbacks.
Building on our strengths in scholarly publishing through Routledge Research monographs and our Routledge Handbooks Online platform, Routledge Focus offers both established and early-career academics the flexibility to publish cutting-edge commentary on topical issues, policy-focused research, analytical or theoretical innovations, in-depth case studies, or short topics for specialised audiences. The format and timeline of Routledge Focus is distinctive; each book is longer than a journal article, but shorter than a traditional monograph (25,000 to 50,000 words in length). Your project will still go through our standard peer review process, but Routledge Focus offers a quick turnaround—a production process of about 4 months, which includes professional copyediting of your manuscript. Published initially in hardback and e-book, these innovative books are aimed at academics, researchers, professionals and postgraduates.”
