We publish scholarly books under open access — at no cost to the author and no cost to the reader. Because knowledge should not sit behind a paywall.
Academic publishing has long been divided — expensive to publish for the author, expensive to access for the reader. We think both barriers are unnecessary, and we have built our publishing model around removing both of them.
Every book we publish is available as an open access ebook — freely readable by any researcher, student, or interested reader anywhere in the world. Authors pay nothing to publish. Readers pay nothing to read. For those who want a physical copy in their hands, print editions are available for purchase at accessible prices.
We publish in two formats — digital and print — and treat them differently by design. The ebook is open access by default. The print edition exists for those who want to hold the book in their hands, and it is priced to be genuinely accessible.
Our standard publishing is complete and professional on its own. For authors who want a higher level of editorial finish, a fully custom cover, an EPUB edition, and a video to announce their book — the Premium Service bundles all of this into one. It is entirely optional and has no bearing on publication decisions.
One plan that covers every premium service we offer — editorial, design, format, and marketing — so your book reaches readers in the best possible form.

Open access books from Scholedge Publishing are distributed across major academic platforms and open repositories. Print editions are available for purchase through retail channels globally.
Shipping on print orders is billed at actual cost. *Our books are made available under open access as per mandate of DOAB/OAPEN databases. The published books will be submitted to these platforms for successful inclusion after publication.
These standards apply to every book we publish. They are not aspirational statements — they are operating requirements for every manuscript we accept and every publication we release.
All publication decisions are made on scholarly merit alone. The purchase of add-on services by an author carries no weight in the editorial decision and does not guarantee acceptance.
All manuscripts submitted to Scholedge Publishing undergo rigorous peer review. We coordinate with qualified reviewers appropriate to the subject area of the manuscript.
Authors confirm that the submitted work is original, not previously published in substantially the same form, and not under simultaneous consideration elsewhere.
All manuscripts are screened for originality. Plagiarism, data fabrication, and duplicate publication are grounds for rejection or, post-publication, retraction.
Authors disclose any relationships that could appear to influence the research. Reviewers and editors with conflicts of interest recuse themselves from the relevant manuscript.
Post-publication errors are corrected promptly and transparently. Retractions are handled according to established best practices in scholarly publishing.
Research involving human subjects must confirm that ethical approval was obtained and that informed consent was secured where required by the applicable framework.
All ebooks are published under Creative Commons licences. Authors retain copyright. Licence terms, reuse rights, and distribution conditions are stated clearly on every publication.
