Book Editor Guidelines
Calbis Studies in Innovation and Enterprise
Responsibility and access
Press Managers oversee all series, proposal and contract decisions, production and final publication. Book Editors handle only assigned book chapters at the submission and peer-review stages. Book Editor status does not grant copyediting, production, publication or administrative access.
Review and decisions
Check scope, complete authorship, anonymisation, conflicts and permissions. Arrange at least two independent external reviewers for research and review chapters. Assess reports and revisions, record reasoned decisions and arrange further review when necessary. Another unconflicted editor must handle your own chapters.

Send accepted, revised chapters with resolved review outcomes, complete metadata and declarations to the Press Manager for copyediting and production assignment. Provide the proposed chapter order, preface, contents and editorial credits. The Press Manager assigns final chapters to the correct published Book record and authorises release.
Book selection
Categories identify the intended book during submission and support automatic editor assignment. The publication Book record is managed separately. Check both before release; do not assume category selection assigns a chapter to the final book.
