>  
> 1. There is no charge for inclusion in the finished book. An auxiliary
> service is available for any authors interested in Open Access. Open
> Access makes the chapter visible free of charge to anyone in the world
> who has Internet access. 
> 2. There are no page charges for black and white submissions. Chapters
> containing color are billed a flat fee regardless of number of
> publisher-accepted color reproductions.
> 3. A free copy of the e-book version of the book is sent to the
> first-listed contributor of each chapter. Additional copies are
> available at a 20% discount. Publication in digital form takes place
> at approximately the same time as the printed version.
> 4. The scientific community is the intended audience. Books are
> marketed by direct mail, space ads, review copies, online bookstore
> postings and by our international distributors. 
> 5. The choice of theme and approach are at the discretion of the
> author but preliminary acceptance is only upon submission of the draft
> abstract. The line-up of chapters is a constantly changing landscape
> since discussions, commitments and submissions continue on a daily
> basis right up to and sometimes beyond the close of each volume.
> 6. Research results (studies) are the primary type of article desired
> but review articles are also welcome. The Commentary should deal with
> innovative ideas, developments, directions, misdirections, areas which
> need to be explored, future outlook, prior errors, problems,
> personnel, funding, or trends in the field which will be published
> separately under your name in a section titled Expert Commentary. The
> deadlines for the abstract for the Commentary and the full Commentary
> are the same as for regular articles. Please be sure to list the
> affiliations of the authors. Short Communications are also subject to
> the abstract requirement and submission guidelines and deadlines.
> References and figures are permitted without limitation.
> 7. An abstract in the following form is required consisting of: 1.
> 150-500 words; 2. Author affiliations; and 3. Estimated date of
> chapter submission and Copyright Transfer. Please include the abstract
> as part of an email and not as an attachment if possible. Acceptance
> of topics is based partially on which topics have already been
> accepted for particular volumes. The reply to the draft abstract will
> contain details about reference styles and other relevant technical
> details. A reply and decision may be expected within 7 days if the
> word Abstract is contained within the Subject Line of the email.

> 4,000-35,000 words (unless Expert Commentaries or Short
> Communications). Longer, more extensive contributions are encouraged.
> In the event of Latex or similar program use, or when a chapter
> contains numerous tabular data, graphics, or mathematical formula, a
> page range of 10-50 pages is acceptable.
> 9. Coauthors may be added by you without discussion with Nova. 
> 10. Publication is by invitation only. Reviewing is either carried out
> inhouse at Nova or outside peer-reviewed at the option of the authors.
> In the latter case, the peer-reviewer's name and affiliation must be

> References. It should be on a separate line two lines below the last
> reference and start with the words
