I published two books with them. It's a reputation publishing agency, but their rules are quite difficult regarding rewards other than publicity (you don't pay a cent but also it's rare to take a cent)

Regards

Subhanallah....Only for publish...there is no royalty for authors...but..they say there royalty about 12%

It is not a reputable publisher because there is no peer review.

Thanks for it's information. I I think this publisher has the bad character.

Read more about publishing in academic books in the links below:

"I published my first book with a university press because my mentor told me explicitly that a university press was the best bet to ensure tenure. Thus, although two trade academic presses solicited my manuscript, I never sent them my materials. Trade academic presses also seem to be a bit more likely to solicit manuscripts from junior scholars.

I am not at all against publishing with trade academic presses, but I do think that you should be aware that there is a hierarchy, and that these things matter in academia. Whether or not they should matter is a different question.

I decided to publish my second and third books with academic trade presses. I never even discussed my second book with an academic press. I made that decision because I figured Paradigm Publishers, an academic trade press, would give me more editorial leeway on a controversial topic, because their current list includes a wide variety of controversial topics. My third book was invited by a series editor at Routledge, and they promised (and delivered) a very quick turnaround, making this an excellent choice. "

"Generally, I think, one wants one's first book to be from as good a uni press as possible, even if, as in the cases mentioned above, prestige is also associated with pricing that essentially limits the title to libraries (until paperback, which can be a while). The benefits of having a first book from a top uni press are very real. The book essentially functions as a big credential; the quality of the press means people in your subfield will know about it and maybe even read some of it; if it's really good, gradually it will accumulate reviews, get cited, and more people will learn of it. But the first book's more reliable function is as credential: everyone that encounters you professionally (t&p committees, sc's, grant committees, book prize committees, editors, grad students) will register it. And it will serve you. "

"Routledge is a respectable commercial press. With all else equal, it doesn't earn you as many points as a publication in one of the elite university presses, but there are worse places to publish a scholarly book.

Part of this depends on the tenure expectations of your home department, so you should ask senior faculty members about their expectations. At my middle-range R1, a Routledge book would be "OK" but we encourage our assistant professors going the book route to publish their work in higher-ranked university presses. If one of our assistant professors published a book in Routledge, it would contribute to a tenurable record but we would probably expect to see some articles published in high-profile scholarly journals to accompany the book."

"A negative R1 tenure review letter I have seen tells the candidate, “Your book was your dissertation that was essentially neither peer reviewed nor edited, and was published by what is in many academic circles considered a non-reputable publisher.” [this publisher is one of the ones listed in the first comment above.] "

"To quantitatively assess the output of a publishing company, a research group associated with the University of Granada created a methodology based on the Thomson-Reuters Book Citation Index.[16] The quantitative weight of the publishers is based on output data, impact (citations) and publisher profile. According to the Granada study, the 10 leading companies were Springer, Palgrave Macmillan, Routledge, Cambridge University Press, Elsevier, Nova Science Publishers, Edward Elgar, Information Age Publishing, Princeton University Press, and University of California Press.[16] "

"In the US, taxpayers are said to be spending $139bn a year on research, and in the UK, £4.7bn. Too much of that money is disappearing into big pockets.

So what are the alternatives? We could stop publishing these books altogether - which may be advisable in a time of hysterical mass publication . Or we publish only with decent publishers, who believe that books are meant to be read and not simply profited from. And if it’s only a matter of making research available, then of course there’s open source publishing, which most academics are aware of by now.

So why don’t academics simply stay away from the greedy publishers? The only answer I can think of is vanity."
