For Authors

Submission 

Authors submit a publication proposal to the BUP Editorial Committee for appraisal. Completed manuscripts are submitted by the Management Board to the to the Editorial Committee for a decision on whether the manuscript is of appropriate standard to warrant review.

Manuscripts are normally reviewed by at least two reviewers approved by the Board. If the BUP Management Board accepts the manuscript as a BUP publication (on the recommendation of the Editorial Committee) a contract for the publication between the University and the author is then signed which specifies the form of publication; the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Information is the authorised signature for all BUP agreements. BUP arranges for the manuscript to be edited and formatted for printing and, if decided, as an e-book.

The BUP Styleguide has been drawn up to assist authors and editors in the production of their manuscripts. 

Funding

Funding is sought for each project separately. Some central funds have been allocated to operate as a small loan fund to provide funding for projects where the loan is repaid from the proceeds. Book or other publication proposals are submitted to the the BUP Editorial Committee to evaluate proposals and make a recommendation to the Management Board.

Legal Deposit

Legal deposit is a statutory provision which obliges publishers to deposit copies of their publications in libraries in the country in which they are published. Under the Copyright Act 1968 and various state Acts, a copy of any work published in Australia must be deposited with the National Library of Australia and the appropriate State library.

In addition to the above, two copies of each BUP publication are required to be deposited in the Bond University Library.
