What do our editors say?

"We publish several high-profile series on behalf of institutional publishing partners such as the International Economic Association, the International Labour Organization, and the United Nations. These series are published as traditional scholarly monographs and contributed volumes which allow for broader, interdisciplinary discussions that the more technical journals can’t accommodate."

Rachel Sangster, Publisher Economics & Global Head of Economics & Finance

"In 2018 four out of five of the most downloaded books in the Computer Science eBook collection were conference proceedings, including the multi-volume set: Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) proceedings."
