Scholarly Monographs and Edited Volumes, Freely Accessible
The CIJ Open Books programme extends our open-access mission to long-form scholarly publishing. We recognise that not all significant research can be contained within the confines of a journal article.
Monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, and research handbooks represent essential forms of academic contribution — and they deserve the same commitment to quality, accessibility, and global distribution that defines all CIJ publications.
Every title in the CIJ Open Books catalogue undergoes rigorous peer review, professional copyediting, and digital formatting for seamless reading across all devices. Authors retain intellectual ownership while readers enjoy unrestricted access.
Single-authored works presenting original scholarly argumentation and research contributions.
Curated collections of expert contributions addressing a defined research theme.
Structured learning resources for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate audiences.
Comprehensive reference works for established and emerging disciplines.
Peer-reviewed collections from academic conferences and symposia.
If you have a research monograph, edited volume, or textbook concept, we invite you to submit a formal proposal to the CIJ Open Books Editorial Panel.
Our acquisitions editors work closely with authors from proposal through final publication, ensuring clarity, responsiveness, and scholarly integrity.
