E-books

Elewa Biosciences hosts an electronic book publishing platform through which scientists can publish text books in all areas of biological sciences. The textbooks will be primarily published electronically, but can also be printed on demand.

We are inviting scientists to submit a proposal to lead the process of developing a book (as Editor), in which case he/she would be responsible for assembling the chapters from the different authors. All books are allocated ISBN serial. The costs for publishing a book are affordable. Currently the charges are 175 USD per chapter. Small books of upto 50 pages long can be published for 200 USD for the entire book. For the electronic format of the book, there is no limit on graphic content (especially colour images) as these improve the quality of a book considerably. However, when a book is to be printed the colour images and/or other graphic materials will be compiled into a CD/DVD which will accompany the book.
