I really need to have a list of publishers with no publication fees.
My brother Augustine, well there are a number of them but you will have to send them a worthy book proposal which they will decide to accept or reject. For publishers like Cambrdge, Springer, De Gruyter, Blackwall, and Benjamins, you should be fine if your work is good enough to get in.
Thanks Mayowa. I was actually talking about publishers that make it clear on their website that they do not charge publication fee. An example is IGI Global which was recommended by a few research gathers.
Following your suggestion, I will send in my book proposal to one of those you listed and see how it goes. Many thanks Mayowa.
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.
