Commissioning Editor

From the time you sign the contract until the book comes out, your Commissioning Editor is the person you should talk to about your book. You will already have worked with them to help you through the peer review process for your plan and to agree on the terms of the contract. They will continue to promote your book within Newredmars Education while it is being written and published. If you have questions about when to send your manuscript, how long it should be, buying a lot of copies, or conference materials, please contact your commissioning editor.

Commissioning Assistant

Your Commissioning Assistant and the Commissioning Editor work together closely, and the Commissioning Editor will send you your signed contract. They will also be able to help you pay your royalties.

Book Project Editor

When your book is signed and before it is sent to our production team, you will hear from the Book Project Editor the most. They will be there to help your commissioning editor. Your Book Project Editor will check in with you often during this time to see how the work is going. They can answer many questions you may have as you write your manuscript, such as those about permissions, style and formatting, figures, tables, and illustrations, as well as questions about supporting papers. The Book Project Editor is in charge of getting the manuscript ready for production. They make sure it is full and clean, and they make sure the Production team understands all of the editorial needs. As stated above, please get in touch with your commissioning editor to talk about adding more time to the manuscript release or changing the length of the manuscript.

Your Book Project Editor will let you know when your work has been sent to our Production team. At that point, they will let you know when the book is likely to be published and when the first proofs will be sent to you.

Lastly, the Book Project Editor is in charge of what happens after the book comes out. If you have any questions about your free copies, please contact your Book Project Editor.

Content Development Editor

The Book Project Editor works under the direction of your Content Development Editor. They are the people to talk to about problems with rights and licenses. The Content Development Editor will make sure that the book goes smoothly while it is with Newredmars Education, but you may never talk to them directly about these problems. The Content Development Editor is also in charge of the book’s cover, blurb, and any recommendations that might come with it.

Production Controller

The Production team is in charge of setting the typeface for the final text and making sure that it is printed to the highest standards by the due date. When the typesetting and proofreading are done, the Production team will make sure that everything stays on plan. The Production team should be contacted with any questions or concerns about typesetting, proofreading, timing, or printing. They will do their best to respond quickly and effectively.

3.1 Figures, tables & illustrations

Before you add any tables, numbers, or pictures to your book, there are a few important things you should keep in mind:

It is necessary for all tables, figures, and/or illustrations to have clear labels and be labelled in a certain order. Figure 1 and Figure 2; Table 1 and Table 2
All numbers and pictures should be sent electronically.
The tables and graphs you use should be easy to read and have the best resolution possible.
If a table or figure has parts that go together, please name them as Figure 1a, Figure 1b, Table 1a, Table 1b
On plain white paper, black and white tables, numbers, and pictures will be printed. Please don’t use an excessive number of pictures in your work. Images and graphs can be sent in colour so that they look good in colour if they are posted online, but they will be turned into black and white for printing.
The text should list all of the tables, figures, and pictures that were used.
Typesetters need to know where to put the tables, numbers, and illustrations. Please tell them. 

3.2 List of tables & figures

If your manuscript has more than five tables, figures, or illustrations, they must be enumerated in the preliminary content of your book. If your book contains above 20 tables or figures, they must be enumerated individually (e.g., “List of Tables” and “List of Figures”). If there are fewer than 20, you may consolidate them into a single list (e.g., “List of Tables and Figures”).

3.3 Cover design &/or back cover copy form

We start promoting your book a long time before it comes out as part of our sales and marketing efforts for it. Because of this, it is important to get correct information early on, three months before your due date. There is room on this form for you to:

Writing about the book will help us when we’re writing the back cover copy.
Take part in the briefing for the cover design of your book. Please note that if your book is part of the Newredmars Education Points collection or a current series with a set cover design, you will only be able to choose from options within that design.
Include an up-to-date summary that will go on the back cover and/or the first few pages of the book. Your organisation should be the place where you worked when you wrote the book. Your profile is also shown on our website and on the pages of our aggregators, like Amazon.
To help us, please fill out this form and send it back three months before your arrival date. This will help a lot with getting your book out there.

3.4 Editorial & production form

It is very important that you fill out the Editorial and Production form and send it in with your work so that the process goes smoothly from Editorial checks to Production. It tells our typesetting staff exactly what to do with the following:

• How and in what order your name(s) should show on the cover/title page if there are more than one!
• Note: The association given when the manuscript is sent in will be the one that appears in the book.
• Your availability during the whole process of creation. This will help our production team make a plan that works with your other obligations (if you have any) from the time you send in your work until it is published. This is very important for the proofreading steps of your book, which will happen two months after the M/S delivery.
• Notes on permissions problems that the typesetter may need to be aware of
• Details about the manuscript as a whole, like the amount of words, tables, and figures,
• Any style rules that are unique to your book that you might want to keep
• The way you cite sources in your whole book
• Your mailing address where free copies of the book should be sent after it comes out.

3.5 Forewords/additional contributors

If you have someone from outside your circle add to your work, like an illustrator providing the images for your book, someone writing a chapter as a guest, etc., we will need their signed permission to include their work in the book. Because of this, please make sure that each donor fills out a donor/Chapter Transfer Agreement form so that we can quickly send their work to production. Your Book Project Editor can give you this form.

4 Referencing

Our suggested citation style is APA 7th Edition; however, you may utilise any style that aligns with the traditions of your discipline. It is necessary to indicate your referencing style on the Editorial and Production form, which must be supplied with your manuscript, to enable our typesetter to standardise it across the book. In the absence of a specific referencing style, we shall direct our typesetters to adhere to APA 7th Edition. This is a concise summary of the APA 7th Edition referencing style.

4.1 In-text references

• For multiple names, “and” should be used in the running text; “&” should be used inside parenthesis.
  • e.g. Ford and Parida (2019) suggest …
  • e.g. This suggests …… (Ford & Parida, 2019).
• For references with two authors, cite both names at every citation in the text
  • e.g. (Parida & Jena, 2019, p.34)
• For references with three to five-authors, cite all authors at the first citation and at subsequent citations, include only the surname of the first author followed by et al.
  • Citation: (Parida, et al., 2019)
• When referencing multiple works by a single author, follow this format:
  • (Parida, 2015a, 2015b, 2018)
• All parenthetical citations should be in alphabetical order as per the reference list.
• Any directly quoted text should have a page number in the reference
  • e.g. ‘Parida describes this as “negligent criminal behaviour” (2011, p.9)’

4.2. Reference list

• The reference list should go at the end of your book, not at the end of individual chapters. This will avoid any duplicate references.
• Please ensure that all listed references are cited, and all cited references are listed.
• All authors’ names should be written as “Surname”, “Initials” (i.e. Parida, A.).
• Provide names and initials for up to and including 20 authors. When there are 2 to 19 authors, use “&” before the final author name. – Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C.
• When there are 21 or more authors, include the first 19 authors’ names, insert an ellipsis (but no “&”), and then add the final author’s name.
• Do not include personal communications, such as letters, memoranda, and informal electronic communications, in the reference list. These should be in-text references only.
• Website names are now included as well as the webpage title.
• The location of the publisher (i.e., city, country/state code) is no longer required.
• You no longer need to give the platform, format, or device (e.g., Kindle) for ebooks, but you do need give the publisher.
• You no longer need to write “Retrieved from” before a URL unless when the content is designed to change over time and the page number is not archived.
• DOIs are formatted the same as URLs. You do not need to write “DOI.”
• If necessary for your book, it is perfectly acceptable to include explanatory footnotes and end-notes. You can specify this on the Editorial and Production form.

If necessary for your book, it is perfectly acceptable to include explanatory footnotes and end-notes. You can specify this on the Editorial and Production form.

5 Editorial policy & originality guidelines

We are committed to promoting new research that has real impact and so expect that all work submitted to us is original and expressed in your own words. Please see our editorial policy and originality guidelines for further information about what we consider best practice and what we consider to be unacceptable. [Publication Ethics – Newredmars Education]

We publish in a number of cutting-edge areas and are not averse to tackling difficult topics. However, we want to uphold the highest standards in our publishing and do ask that all authors consider the following questions before submitting their work:

• Does my work contain any opinions or claims that are supposed to be facts but aren’t backed up by evidence?
• Have I checked my work for errors?
• Are there parts of my work that might have needed ethical approval or a set of rules to be followed, like testing on people or animals?
• Is there any violent material in my work, like photos, that could be seen as offensive or controversial?
• Does my work include anything that could be seen as slanderous or that could make people hate someone or a group of people?

We would consider libel to be any written statements that may:

• Discriminate against an individual in their occupation, profession, trade, or business;
• Reduce an individual’s standing in the eyes of societal members who are generally considered to be right-thinking;
• Cause an individual to be shunned or avoided.
• Subject them to disdain, ridicule, or hatred.

If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, then please do not submit your manuscript without consulting with your Commissioning Editor.

6 Permissions guidance

Before submitting your manuscript, it is important to obtain permission to include any content that you have not independently created or that has been previously published. Clearing permission from the copyright proprietor of the content is a legal requirement. Clearing permission for any copyrighted work that you intend to incorporate into your manuscript is your responsibility. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in extended publication delays or the removal of content from the book. Nwredmars Education is unable to commence production or publish any work that is pending permission.

6.1 Why do I need to clear permission?

It is a legal obligation to obtain clearance. If you are republishing material within your work that you or your co-authors have not created (or has been published previously), you will need to obtain permission from the copyright holder to repurpose this content. We request that this process be finalised before your work is submitted. The earlier you commence the process of obtaining permissions, the more favourable it will be, as it can take several months. Academic standards necessitate comprehensive referencing of the material. Newredmars Education will be unable to publish the specific material if permission is not obtained. For assistance or guidance on how to clear permission or if an item requires permissions clearance, please reach out to your Content Development Editor.

6.2 Who is responsible for clearing permission?

Authors are accountable for the clearance of permissions and any associated expenses.

7: What do I need to clear permission for?

If you want to copy something that wasn’t your own work or that has already been released, you usually need to get permission first.

Newredmars Education is a member of the crossref and copyright.com . We strictly follow to ISBN guideline and publication policy. Please look at the ISBN Permissions guidelines part for more information about the rules.

This could look like this:

7.1 Figures/tables/illustrations
7.2 Photos
7.3 Quotations (over 250 words)
7.4 Epigraphs (e.g. quotations used at the start of a chapter or manuscript that are not discussed within the body of the text)
7.5 Song lyrics & poetry
7.6 Screenshots
7.7 Software screenshots
7.8 Social media
7.9 Logos/trademarks
7.10 Case studies/named organisations (if not based on publicly available & referenced information)
7.11 Interviews (where the interviewee is identifiable)
7.12 Maps
7.13 Artwork
7.14 Your own previously published works where you do not hold copyright (e.g. in a previously published journal article)
7.15 How do I clear permission?
7.16 ​​​​​​​Adaptations
7.17 Is there any third-party material I don’t have to clear permission for?
7.18 What does public domain mean?
7.19 What is fair dealing?
7.20 Do I need to request permission to reuse open access content?
7.21 ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Can I include third party content in my open access work?

8 Appendices

The appendices will be put at the end of the book, after the list of sources. Each figure and table in the Appendix should have a number, like A1, A2, A3, etc., even if there is only one Appendix. If there are two sections in a chapter, the first one should be called Appendix A and the second one should be called Appendix B. Also, if Appendix A has three equations, they should be called A.1, A.2, and A.3.

It is important that the Appendix is mentioned in the text.

9 Post-submission & the typesetting process

Our Editorial team will look over the file for any problems and make sure it is ready to go into production as soon as we get the final manuscript and any other paperwork that goes with it. Your Book Project Editor will get in touch with you to confirm the date of your print release and give you information about proofs.

9.1 ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Copyediting

Once you send the production team the final manuscript and any necessary paperwork, they will get in touch with you via email to explain the plan and give you instructions on how to use Adobe Reader to make electronic corrections. Please let the project manager know if you can’t get to Adobe.

A light copyedit is done on all books to make sure they are correct in writing, grammar, punctuation, and style.

• For our copyeditors and compositors to typeset the book the way you want it, please make sure that:
• When you use an acronym, you should use the full form first, then the acronym in parentheses. For example, “The National Health Service (NHS) was founded in Britain in…”
  The labels on the headings show the order of the content. For example, H1, H2, and H3 stand for sections, sub-sections, named sections, and so on. And this will make sure that the titles and subtitles are written with the right margins and font size.

9.2 Author proofs

After the final manuscript has been checked for mistakes and typeset, and the editing team is done, your proofs will be sent to you. We need you to let us know that you got the email with your copies so that we know we’re using the right email address.

If the copyeditor asks you a question, you should answer it. You should also check for typos and grammar mistakes and make changes to no more than 10% of the text. Please use the highlight and comment tools in Adobe Reader to make your changes online.

The table below shows how long it takes to get back to authors with corrections, based on how long the book’s publication plan is. You will only have one chance to look over the copies and make changes before they are sent to print. If you don’t know when your book will be finished, please ask your Book Project Editor.

9.3 ​​​​​​​Index

Our typesetter will make your index from the 50–100 key terms you sent us and send it to you for approval. Please look over the entries to make sure they make sense. The indexing program will add a string of numbers to the end of each item in the index. These numbers will become the page number.

9.4 ​​​​​​​Full cover proof

The Content Development Editor will send you a full cover proof during the editing stage. This will include the full cover design and back cover copy. At this point, you won’t be able to change the design because you’ll already accepted it. Please only make changes to the spelling and grammar and approve the cover within two weeks.

9.5 ​​​​​​​Final checks & publication

After your changes have been made, the Production team will do one last check before sending the book to the printers and putting it on our website, www.newredmars.com.

On our website, you can also find a diagram that shows how this process works.

If you have any questions or concerns during production that our production team can’t answer, or if you have any questions or concerns after release, please get in touch with your Commissioning Editor and/or Book Project Editor.

10 FAQs

Q1) Is it necessary for the individual I interviewed to sign an interview release form if I have quoted their statements without identifying them?

No, the interviewee will not be required to complete an interview release form if they are either anonymous or cannot be identified.

Q2)At what stage are endorsements required?

Upon submitting your manuscript, you should inform the Book Project Editor of your desire to obtain endorsements for your book. If this is applicable, please confirm that your endorsements have been filed a minimum of 2 months prior to your anticipated publication date.

Q3) If I have included a figure, table, or image that I developed myself but has previously appeared in a different publication, must I still obtain permission?

If you do not hold the copyright (i.e., the publisher possesses the copyright), you must secure permission for the figure, table, or illustration.

Q4) Why must I obtain permission for third-party information in my work that is readily accessible online?

While you may access certain third-party materials without cost, this does not imply that we possess the authorisation to reproduce them. Online-hosted material is subject to various permissions based on copyright, some of which prohibit commercial use. We consistently advise reviewing the Terms and Conditions on the copyright holder’s website to gain a clearer understanding of their usage stipulations.

Q5) What important words should I put in the index?

As we already said, you will need to give our typesetters a list of 50 to 100 index terms so that they can make an index for the book. When choosing your words, here are two important things to keep in mind:

• Would someone try to find this entry?
• If they did, would they learn anything useful?
