Author Guidelines

CHAM Publishers permanently welcomes proposals for articles, edited volumes, co-authored books and single-author monographs. We do not publish PhD theses or conference proceedings.

CHAM promotes a permanently open call for books destined to the national and international scientific community, within the scope of its Studies & Documents and CHAM E-Books Collections.

The submission of a proposal requires the assurance that the manuscript (book/chapters) is an original work that has not been published previously and is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere.

Proposals should fall within the disciplinary fields and research themes that are currently addressed by CHAM.

The submission of studies adopting comparative, multidisciplinary, transnational and/or cross-cultural approaches is strongly encouraged.

The participation of CHAM researchers as editors and/or authors may not exceed 30% of the total number of collaborators in each proposal.
