HSE Publishing House Accepting Applications for the Publication of Copyright Books

HSE Publishing House is now accepting applications from HSE staff for the publication of copyright books on a competitive basis.

We can accept publication applications for textbooks, tutorials and monographs, which were previously unpublished and created by an author or a group of authors. In certain cases, there also may be collections of previously published works of an author or group of authors. Requests for translation shall not be not accepted. The recommended size for publications comes to 10-35 author’s pages (1 author's page equals 40,000 characters with spaces).

Applications can be submitted through completing an electronic form via a user’s personal account. Requests submitted from other users’ accounts will not be accepted.

The attached files should be in .zip format, while text materials should be in .pdf (scanned or created in digital form). Texts in picture format shall not be accepted.
