About ISQGD Books
ISQGD Books is the scholarly book-publishing program of the International Society for Quality Growth and Development (ISQGD). Its mission is to publish high-quality school-level and university textbooks, research monographs, lecture texts, educational books, and interdisciplinary scholarly works across its seven academic divisions, including Biological and Life Sciences.
ISQGD Books is committed to academic quality, independent expert evaluation, global accessibility, fair treatment of authors, and reasonable and internationally accessible pricing. The program serves students, educators, researchers, professionals, and institutions throughout the world while advancing the educational and scholarly mission of ISQGD.
Books Considered for Publication
ISQGD Books has seven academic divisions, listed in the following order: Mathematics; Physics; Chemistry; Biological and Life Sciences; Engineering; Probability, Statistics, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence; and Education and Pedagogy. Together, these seven divisions cover school-level books, undergraduate and graduate textbooks, advanced lecture texts, professional references, research monographs, and other scholarly and educational works appropriate to their respective fields. The Biological and Life Sciences Division encompasses biological sciences, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, genomics, microbiology, biochemistry, biotechnology, biomedical sciences, neuroscience, ecology, evolutionary biology, agricultural and plant sciences, computational biology, and related subjects. The Education and Pedagogy Division covers teaching and learning across disciplines, including hands-on and cooperative learning, curriculum, assessment, teacher education, educational technology, educational systems, access, and policy. Technology-focused and interdisciplinary works may be considered in the division most appropriate to their primary subject matter.
Textbooks
School-level, undergraduate, and graduate textbooks that combine subject-appropriate rigor with clear exposition, worked examples, exercises, and educational value.
Research Monographs
Focused scholarly works presenting original research, mature theory, or sustained treatment of an important research area.
Lecture Texts
Advanced course books, lecture notes developed into coherent scholarly texts, and books connecting foundational ideas with current research.
Interdisciplinary Books
Books connecting mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, biological and life sciences, education, statistics, technology, computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, and related fields, including work spanning more than one academic division.
Editorial and Independent Evaluation Standards
Every book project begins with a formal proposal submitted to the General Editor. Proposals are evaluated for scope, academic or educational merit, intended readership, distinctiveness, clarity, feasibility, and fit with the ISQGD Books program. If a proposal proceeds to divisional evaluation, the relevant division Editor-in-Chief coordinates the appropriate editorial and independent expert assessment, with assistance from a handling editor where appropriate, and submits the divisional recommendation to the General Editor. The General Editor decides whether the proposal is approved. After evaluation of the completed manuscript and any required revisions, the division Editor-in-Chief submits a recommendation concerning acceptance or rejection, and the General Editor makes the final decision and issues the formal acceptance or rejection letter.
Independent Expert Evaluation
Book proposals and, where appropriate, manuscripts or selected portions of manuscripts are evaluated by qualified experts according to the nature and stage of the project.
Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are based on scholarly merit, educational value, reviewer reports, and reasoned editorial recommendations. Final proposal and manuscript decisions are made by the General Editor under the published ISQGD Books policies.
Conflict of Interest
Authors who hold ISQGD leadership, editorial, or governance roles do not participate in the editorial evaluation or publication decision concerning their own manuscripts.
Quality before Quantity
ISQGD Books prioritizes scholarly accuracy, disciplinary rigor, clarity, originality, integrity, educational usefulness, and long-term value.
ISQGD Books Editorial Board
The Editorial Board supports the scholarly standards and academic development of ISQGD Books. Its members bring expertise from mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, data science, education, and related interdisciplinary areas and contribute to the evaluation of book proposals and manuscripts, the identification of qualified experts, and the continued development of rigorous, independent, and transparent editorial procedures.

Call for Book Proposals
From Primary Level to Research Level
ISQGD Books welcomes book proposals from school teachers, educators, researchers, and authors worldwide. We consider books for every stage of learning: primary (elementary), middle and secondary school, undergraduate and graduate study, and advanced research.
We welcome school textbooks, activity and enrichment books, teacher guides, university textbooks, lecture texts, research monographs, and interdisciplinary educational and scholarly works across our seven academic divisions, including Biological and Life Sciences. School teachers are warmly encouraged to submit books based on their subject knowledge, classroom experience, and teaching practice.
Authors do not need to be ISQGD members or have a prior affiliation with ISQGD. The normal first step is completion of the official ISQGD Books Book Proposal Form. The form also asks authors to suggest 2–3 qualified independent experts who may be considered for proposal evaluation. Reviewer suggestions are advisory only; ISQGD Books may select different or additional experts.

Digital-First Publishing and Print Availability
ISQGD Books follows a digital-first publishing model designed to support efficient, affordable, and international dissemination of scholarly and educational works. Electronic editions provide a principal means of publication and global access, allowing books to reach students, educators, researchers, professionals, libraries, and institutions without requiring conventional inventory or large advance print runs.
Where a physical edition is appropriate or there is reader, library, or institutional demand, ISQGD Books may also make paperback or hardcover editions available through professional print-on-demand and distribution services. Physical copies can then be produced in response to orders and shipped directly to purchasers by the applicable printing or distribution provider. This approach helps avoid unnecessary inventory, storage, and fulfillment costs while preserving access to professionally produced print editions.
Electronic and print editions of a title are based on the same academically reviewed and approved work. Preparation of a print format does not duplicate the scholarly evaluation of the underlying manuscript; however, each format remains subject to appropriate production checks, bibliographic requirements, and quality control before release.
Availability of particular formats and distribution channels may vary by title. ISQGD Books selects formats and services according to the work, its readership, production requirements, accessibility goals, and sustainable publishing practices.
Pricing and Author Royalties
ISQGD Books seeks to maintain reasonable and internationally accessible pricing while offering authors a transparent and favorable publishing arrangement.
Under the standard ISQGD Books model, authors ordinarily receive 40% of Distributable Net Revenue from sales of their books, subject to the terms of the applicable publishing agreement. Distributable Net Revenue is the amount remaining after clearly defined and permitted publication, transaction, production, and distribution costs have been accounted for.
Book-specific one-time production costs are not intended to be deducted indefinitely. Once such approved costs have been fully recovered, they cease to be deducted from later sales. Detailed terms are set out in the formal author agreement for each title.
Questions About Publishing with ISQGD Books
Prospective authors naturally want to understand how a scholarly publisher evaluates, produces, identifies, distributes, and accounts for its books. ISQGD Books provides clear information about book proposal evaluation, independent expert assessment, editorial independence, ISBNs and metadata, digital and print formats, distribution, copyright, author royalties, and the publication process.
ISQGD Books remains the publisher of works accepted through its editorial process. Established third-party platforms may be used for electronic delivery, retail distribution, print-on-demand, and fulfillment where appropriate; use of such services does not transfer the publisher role to the service provider.
Editorial, Publishing, and Ethical Policies
ISQGD Books maintains written policies covering editorial independence, proposal and manuscript evaluation, conflicts of interest, publication ethics, author and reviewer responsibilities, copyright and permissions, pricing, royalties, production standards, bibliographic identifiers, distribution, corrections, and appeals.
