Call for book chapters: frequently asked questions

What is a call for book chapters?

A call for book chapters is an open invitation from a publisher for researchers to contribute a chapter to an edited volume on a stated theme. You submit your manuscript, it is peer reviewed, and accepted chapters are published in the volume with your name on the byline.

How is a book chapter different from a journal article?

A chapter sits inside an edited volume built around one theme, so it can be broader and more discursive than a journal article, and review turnaround is usually shorter. Both are citable: each chapter here gets its own DOI-style landing page, Google Scholar metadata, and BibTeX and RIS exports.

How many book chapter calls are open right now?

2 edited volumes are currently accepting chapters at Xplore Publications. Each volume is listed on this page with its deadline, editors and submission link.

Who can submit a book chapter?

Any researcher, academic, research scholar, postgraduate student or industry practitioner working on the volume theme. There is no requirement to be affiliated with a particular institution, and co-authored chapters are welcome.

How do I submit a chapter to an open call?

Pick a volume from the list above, open its call page, and upload your manuscript as a Word file (.doc or .docx). You get a reference number instantly and can track the status online. No account is needed to submit.

Is there a publication fee?

The publication fee is ₹3,500 per chapter unless a volume states otherwise on its own call page. It is payable only after acceptance and invoiced before publication, so nothing is charged while your chapter is under review. Submission and peer review are free.

How long does peer review take?

Initial screening typically completes within a week. Full review time varies by field and reviewer availability. You can follow your status live on the submission tracker using your reference number.

Will my chapter be indexed by Google Scholar?

Yes. Every published chapter gets its own web page carrying Google Scholar citation metadata and Dublin Core tags, plus a professionally typeset PDF, so it is discoverable where researchers search.
