Traditional Publishing Model
In traditional publishing, the publisher assumes the financial, editorial, and distribution responsibilities of a book. Authors submit manuscripts or proposals, which are then reviewed by subject experts and editors. If accepted, the publisher covers the costs of:
• Peer review and editorial assessment
• Copyediting and proofreading
• Typesetting, design, and layout
• Printing and digital publication
• Indexing and cataloguing
• Global marketing and distribution
