Call for papers and applications

Dear Authors,
Our Consortium is preparing several books to be published at Springer (www.springer.com), with details shown further in this page:

1. Commercialization of Nanotechnologies - A Case study approach


2. Biomaterials in clinical practice - Advances in Clinical Research and Medical Devices


3. Advances in Application of Industrial Biomaterials


4. The Impact of Nanotechnology and Biomedical Engineering on Additive Manufacturing: Insights from Case Studies


5. Supporting university ventures - policies, practice and futures


6. Intellectual Property (IP) rights in research projects towards business perspectives

Short description of books content is given for each book separately under their titles.

Please note that we collect 3 types of contributions (below given article length is approximate - articles can be shorter or longer as per your decision and material):
1. Review articles in specific area of the books, in order to provide a broad overview of the field (approx 6000-8000 words per each review article)
2. Practical application cases (or case studies), (approx 4000-6000 words per each case study - preferable with a lot of application images, such as products based on nanotechnology research, new materials and new technologies and/or services)
3. Short presentations of products by companies dealing in any of the areas covered by books (max 1-3 pages of text and images).
In case you submit any practical applications related to any of the book fields, the company info can be also included FREE OF CHARGE.

If you want to submit a review article, practical case study or short presentations of products, in any of the books, please follow the given Instructions for preparation of articles: Instructions for Authors Instruction for References Submission Checklist
