Excerpt #1
We welcome proposals for single and co-authored books and edited collections in the following imprints: Boydell Press; D.S. Brewer; Camden House; James Currey; and Tamesis, as well as for our partner press: University of Rochester Press.
Our Book Processing Charge (BPC) is £8,500/$11,000 (excluding VAT or other applicable sales taxes). This covers a manuscript up to 120,000 words. We charge an additional £100/$135 (excluding VAT and sales taxes) for every additional 2,000 words over this limit. The BPC covers up to a combined total of 30 black and white images, figures, tables and illustrations. We aim to accommodate a higher number if the work requires it. Please consult with your editor if this is the case.
We make Open Access titles available under a Creative Commons license. We recommend a CC-BY-NC-ND license, which means your work can be copied and shared (with suitable attribution) but cannot be altered or used for commercial reasons. We can accommodate other Creative Commons licences. Please discuss with your editor if you require an alternative one.
Open Access titles receive the same rigorous peer review process that all our academic titles go through. A proposed Open Access title must pass our peer review and editorial guidance process to be published.
Any third-party material published within your Open Access title should also carry the same Creative Commons licence. If it does not, we may still be able to include it provided that the copyright owner agrees to inclusion and is aware of the OA status of the work. We cannot include any third-party material where a time limited permission to reproduce is applied.
Excerpt #2
We are pleased to offer the option to publish an individual chapter or chapters as Open Access content. Much of our full book OA publishing policy applies, though there are key differences in the fee and how we handle the distribution of single chapters versus full length books.
Our standard Chapter Processing Fee (CPC) is £1,250/$1,650 (excluding VAT or other applicable sales taxes). For simplicity, we apply one rate of fee regardless of number of chapters in title and/or length and this accommodates most cases. However, there may be cases in which this fee is adjusted depending on the length of the book that contains it, and/or the length of the chapter itself. If so, you and your funder will be made aware of any adjustments needed.
