Reviews & Testimonials

Publishing with IGI Global has been very productive for me. Over the years, I have seen how IGI Global’s technological capabilities have come to the fore with their book publishing system, which vastly simplifies the process, particularly the uploading of manuscript contents, the double-blind peer review process, and the book proofing. IGI Global has given me a way to speak to the larger world about important research and work.

- Dr. Shalin Hai-Jew (Kansas State University, USA)

Publishing with IGI Global has been a very positive experience. We have been guided through the very complicated process swiftly and securely by simply following their concise instructions. The response to the first edition was much greater than expected, I think due to the excellent marketing system of IGI Global. The ability to get the book delivered to the world is not less important than the writing of it. As authors, we are very grateful to IGI Global for all of their efforts on our behalf.

- John Radke, BM, MBA

It was quite a delight to be published with IGI Global. The process itself was simple and supportive. I know they have a huge readership across the world. I am happy that my works are part of this research family.

- Mr. Dhaval Joshi (Senior Product Manager at Tencent in Shenzhen, China)

Publishing with IGI Global has allowed me to contribute new work across my diverse research interests…I appreciate the IGI Global mission to disrupt the scholarly publishing community with its systematic process for expert peer review and inter/transdisciplinary subject areas.

- Dr. Robin Throne (Northcentral University, USA)

Having released several books and a number of other research publications with IGI Global, I am more than happy to continue this collaboration in a friendly environment created by IGI Global staff. I definitely look forward to collaborating with IGI Global in the future heartily and endorse this outstanding publisher to all my colleagues.

- Dr. Vasilii Erokhin (Harbin Engineering University, China)

The experience with IGI Global has been positive because they are open to new ideas and offer a variety of opportunities for scientists to inform the society about current research, start discussions on emerging research trends, and provide a platform for the development of new knowledge.

- Dr. Linda Daniela (University of Latvia, Latvia)

Reviewer Roles

Associate Editor: Associate Editors are the highest layer of the peer reviewer roles. These individuals support a higher level of review and provide recommended editorial decisions to the editors. Associate editors also have access to the completed review evaluations from the first round of peer review to provide a more well-rounded evaluation for the journal leadership. Associate Editors are expected to complete 3-5 timely and quality reviews per year. Example of a Quality Associate Editor Evaluation
Editorial Review Board Member: Editorial Review Board Members are the full-time reviewers for the first round of the peer review. Once an individual is an Editorial Review Board Member, their name appears on the journal webpage. These members are expected to complete 3-5 timely and quality reviews per year. If these individuals provide timely and quality word, Editor(s)-in-Chief can promote them to an Associate Editor level. Example of a Quality Editorial Review Board Evaluation
Ad-Hoc Reviewer: Ad-Hoc Reviewers support with the first layer of the peer review on an as-needed basis, oftentimes supporting with manuscripts in more niche areas. Due to some journals having an abundance of ad-hoc reviewers, these individuals’ names do not formally appear on the webpage. Upon the completion of 2-3 quality and timely reviews for the journal, an editor can assess the Ad-Hoc Reviewer’s work and potentially promote them to be an Editorial Review Board member.
