The publisher has indicated that they are submit for Scopus inclusion. Since its book under theme of South East Asian context, I doubt whether be approved. Any ideas?
IGI Global is only indexed by Scopus include the most forward-thinking research from IGI Global’s 11 subject areas including business, computer science, education, and social sciences. But Scopus is not synchronizing any citation details.
IGI Global is a very unprofessional and exploitative publisher. They don’t have the good ethics of scientific research publishing. Based on my experience in two times that I submitted to them, I decided never to submit any paper to any of their journals or books again. In the first time, I submitted a paper to an IGI Global journal. The paper was reviewed by only one reviewer, and his or her decision was to reject without stating any convincing or clear reasons. The editor rejected the paper without providing any comments or reasons. In the second time, I submitted a book chapter which was reviewed by three reviewers, and all three replied with very minor revisions and gave all their score 7 and 8 out of 8. The two editors of the book then rejected the chapter after four months saying that “It is not fit to the scope of the book”. I sent objection emails to the book development and to the editors without getting any reply. It is very annoying to have such bad publishers deceiving researchers with their statements that they do correct peer reviewing and publishing. My advice to all fellow researchers: submit your papers only to well-known publishers that you trust.

Based on my experience, once the publication is officially released, all the major indices, including Web of Science (formerly Thomson Reuters), Scopus, PsycINFO, and INSPEC, will have access to the book content to review for potential inclusion into their records. As such, they will notify the publisher if your publication is of interest, and you will be informed of any new indexing developments. The selection criteria is also based on the amount of highly cited content, practical relevance and contribution to the field of research. The publisher does not have control cannot guarantee that the content will be indexed.
