Your proposal will be handled by an acquisitions
editor who has education or experience in your area.
At every stage, your publishing team will include people
who understand your topic and your scientific goals.
It starts with the acquisitions editor... continues
with the production specialists who put your book together...
and ends with the chemist who prepares your subject
index. Your book is sure to benefit from our scientific
publishing expertise.
THE QUALITY
We understand how important your reputation is to
you. That's why our entire publishing process is designed
to create a quality environment for your book. Our peer
review and editorial processes ensure that the content
of every ACS book upholds our high standards. Plus,
every ACS book looks like a high-quality book!
We use top-notch designers, respected printers, and
a high-quality, acid-free paper. The result is a book
you'll be proud to claim as your own.
THE PEER REVIEW PROCESS
Whether
you're an author or an editor, you're sure to appreciate
the ACS peer review process. It's a simple, effective
way to get reactions and observations from your peers
before your material appears in print.
Qualified scientists are invited to review the work
at two points. When ACS receives the book proposal,
subject matter experts will review the content and quality
of the proposed book.
Editors will conduct peer reviews of all manuscripts.
Thus, you'll get important feedback, at two critical
pointsgiving you everything you need to create the
best possible book.
Every ACS Books title goes through the peer review
process. This is a critical component of the ACS publishing
process.
THE MARKETING SUPPORT
Not only do you get the editorial expertise of the
American Chemical Society, but you receive the marketing
expertise and global distribution network of Oxford
University Press, one of the world's oldest and most
