Call for Open Access Books - 10 Top Reasons to Publish Open Access Books and Journal's Articles with IFSA Publishing

IFSA Publishing Open Access Books

The growing demand for open access publishing in sensors, measurements, control systems and microelectronics areas has led IFSA Publishing in addition to our already established book portfolio to offer authors the option to publish open access books.

Why Open Access Books ?

• Increased return on public investments and eliminate public money losses due to carry out the same researches with the almost the same results.

• Increased visibility over the World. Researchers in developing countries can see your work.

• European Commission, Research Council and others mandate for open access publications of research results. Often, the open access publication is compliant with grant conditions.

• Quick publications accelerate the technical and scientific progresses.

10 Top Reasons to Publish Open Access Books with IFSA Publishing

Today, many big and small publishers propose open access books publication. How IFSA Publishing open access books differ? Let to be focused on the main benefits:
