  • 1.  CALL FOR AUTHORS: Green Series - Green Cities, Green Business and Green Consumerism

    Posted 02-23-2009 14:28
    We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Green Series, a new
    electronic reference series for academic and public libraries addressing
    all aspects of environmental issues, including alternative energies,
    sustainability, politics, agriculture, and many other subjects that will
    comprise a 12-title set. Each title has approximately 150 articles (much
    like encyclopedia articles) on major themes, ranging from 1,000 to 4,000
    words. We are starting the assignment process for articles for Volumes 4 -
    6 in the series with a deadline of May 1, 2009:

    Volume 4: Green Cities
    Volume 5: Green Business
    Volume 6: Green Consumerism

    This comprehensive project will be published in stages by SAGE eReference
    and will be marketed to academic and public libraries as a digital, online
    product available to students via the library’s electronic services. The
    Series Editor is Paul Robbins, Ph.D., University of Arizona, and the
    General Editor for Volumes 4 and 5 is Nevin Cohen, Ph.D., The New School,
    and General Editor for Volume 6 is Juliana Mansvelt, Ph.D., Massey
    University. Both the series editor and general editors will be reviewing
    each submission to the project.

    If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it
    can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your
    publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from
    SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to free access to the online
    product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more per volume.

    The Article list, Style and Submission Guidelines and a sample article are
    attached. From the available articles (articles that do not have a name in
    the contributor column), please select topics that best fit your expertise
    and interests. E-mail your article selections to me and I will confirm
    availability.

    If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference
    with the Green Series, please contact me by the e-mail information below.
    Please provide a brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials in
    environmental issues.


    Thanks very much.
