Production & book information

Editorial and production checks

The proposed workflow includes copyediting, reference checks, permissions review, consistent transliteration, proof correction and final approval. Production should preserve the scholarly argument and document substantive author-approved changes.

Book-level information

Each published edition should have a consistent title, author/editor identification, publication date and edition statement, named publisher and imprint, physical office address and appropriate valid identifiers. Front matter should include a clear statement of the book’s purpose, copyright and rights information, contents and relevant acknowledgements.

Scholarly navigation

Research chapters should be identifiable and citable, with coherent pagination or another stable identification system, author affiliations and complete references. Book and chapter titles, contributor names and bibliographic records should remain consistent across the file, website and distribution records.

Identifiers and availability

IBIRC Press will assign an ISBN to each published book, with separate ISBNs for distinct editions and product formats where required, and register a unique DOI for every published chapter. Identifiers will be displayed after assignment and registration, with chapter DOIs linking to persistent chapter landing pages. Planned titles do not yet have assigned identifiers. Distribution arrangements remain to be confirmed. Each title page should identify the formats actually available and provide a persistent location for updates and corrections.

Before release

The responsible editor should confirm completion of peer review, permissions, author proof approval, accurate metadata, access terms and preservation planning. Marketing descriptions must match the published work and avoid unsupported claims about indexing or endorsement.
