Boss của tôi được mời và chuyển cho tôi tham khảo và nghiên cứu đề xuất viết chương sách trên nhà xuất bản **Nova Science Publishers**, tuy nhiên qua nghiên cứu nhà xuất bản này, thì thấy thuộc nhóm Nhà xuất bản phù phiếm “vanity press” trên Beall’s List, và cũng như có rất nhiều ý kiến trái chiều về nhà xuất bản này, như có những quy trình bình duyệt không có/qua loa, chất lượng v.v. xin ý kiến và thông tin thêm của mọi người về nhà xuất bản này, tôi đang suy nghĩ trao đổi với Boss (Thầy) là sẽ không tham gia!
Thông tin về việc nhà xuất bản này được cho vào nhóm “vanity press” trên Beall’s List:
## What is vanity press?
Vanity press is a type of publishing, where authors pay to have their work published; either in money or – more often – in the author’s publication rights. During the publication process, **no peer-review is promised by the publisher** and no quality control is done. Vanity press usually does no editing, and the authors are left to do all the formatting and spell-checking by themselves. Their works are then published in self-publishing outlets, such as on Amazon, and physical copies of their books have outrageously high prices. The authors, of course, get no income from the sales.
Vanity press usually targets young academics with no experience, that have just finished their degree and produced a thesis. Then, such publisher offers publication of their work in a book form for free. If however, the author wants to publish their research in the form of an academic paper afterwards, they are usually not permitted to do so, because of the legal contract with the vanity publisher.
## Difference between vanity press and predatory publishing
Predatory publishers claim to have a working peer review, but actually it’s either not present or it’s substantially flawed. Vanity press, on the other hand, never claim to have a peer review process – therefore they are usually perfectly legal businesses.
