How it Works, from Submission to Publication

How Chapter Publishing Works at Walnut Academia

At Walnut Academia, we are committed to advancing scholarly communication through transparent and academically rigorous publishing. Our chapter publishing process ensures quality, peer validation, and global recognition for every contribution.

1. Call for Chapters

We periodically release calls for book chapters on diverse academic themes. Each call outlines:

  • The scope and objectives of the book
  • Submission guidelines
  • Key dates (abstract, full chapter, review, acceptance)
2. Abstract/Proposal Submission

Interested authors submit an abstract (300–500 words) or a concept note. The editorial board evaluates submissions for thematic alignment and academic merit.

3. Full Chapter Submission

Authors are invited to submit their full chapters (4,000–8,000 words unless otherwise specified). All manuscripts must adhere to our formatting and referencing guidelines. A plagiarism check is conducted to ensure originality.

4. Peer Review Process

Each submission undergoes a double-blind peer review. Reviewers provide constructive feedback focusing on originality, methodological soundness, and contribution to scholarship. Authors are expected to revise and resubmit accordingly.

5. Final Acceptance & Editing

Accepted chapters are refined by our editorial team to ensure consistency in formatting, references, and style. Authors are kept informed throughout the process.

6. Publication & Indexing

The edited volume is published with an ISBN and DOIs for individual chapters. The book is indexed on Google Scholar and distributed in both print and digital formats.

Visibility & Recognition

Contributors receive:

  • A publication certificate
  • Complimentary e-copy of the volume
  • Wide academic visibility through indexing, marketing, and distribution channels
