CALL FOR AUTHORS: Encyclopedia of Stem Cell Research
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Encyclopedia of Stem Cell Research, a new reference for undergraduate students and the general public addressing all aspects of stem cell research, including research and clinical procedures, definitions of terms, biographies of major researchers and their work, profiles of research institutions, organizations, and corporations, descriptions of therapies, and thematic topics on ethics, religion and government regulation.
We are starting the assignment process for articles that will be due November 1, 2007.
This comprehensive project is a two-volume encyclopedia for college, public, and health libraries to be published by Sage Reference in 2008. The work is made up of some 350 articles.
Each article, ranging from 900 to 3500 words, is signed by the contributor.
The General Editors for the encyclopedia are: Clive Niels Svendsen, Ph.D., Director, NIH T32 Stem Cell Training Program, University of Wisconsin–Madison and Allison D. Ebert, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow, Stem Cell Research Program, University of Wisconsin–Madison. Drs. Svendsen and Ebert will review all the articles for academic consistency.
If you are interested in contributing to the encyclopedia, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. Sage Publications offers an honorarium ranging from Sage book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the encyclopedia (approximately a $300 value) for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference with the Encyclopedia of Stem Cell Research, please contact me by the e-mail information below.
Please provide a brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials. A background in health writing is preferred. Please remember this is a non-technical resource that can be understood by the layman.
Thanks very much.
