Edited Book
The Edited Book category of Oku Okut Press encompasses scholarly volumes composed of original academic chapters written by multiple authors and compiled under the direction of one or more subject-matter editors. These collective works are organized around a specific theme, topic, or disciplinary focus and aim to contribute to the scholarly literature while fostering interdisciplinary dialogue. Editors are responsible not only for shaping the book's structure but also for ensuring consistency, academic rigor, and editorial quality.
Key features of edited books include:
-
Multi-authored Structure: Each chapter is authored independently, offering an original contribution to the central topic.
-
Editorial Oversight: One or more academic editors oversee the selection, review, and organization of the chapters.
-
Thematic Coherence: All chapters are unified by a shared intellectual framework, thematic focus, or research question.
-
Academic Rigor: Chapters are grounded in literature, employ scholarly methodology, and often include citations and theoretical engagement.
This category is particularly suitable for conference proceedings, collaborative research outputs, interdisciplinary volumes, or thematic collections based on theoretical frameworks. Edited books serve as both reference sources and research materials for higher education and academic communities.
At Oku Okut Press, the publication of edited books adheres to the principles of scholarly originality, transparent editorial processes, and peer review by field experts, in line with best practices in academic publishing.
