Call-for-Papers on Sedentary Lifestyle: Causes and Consequences

Dear Dr. Gnaiger,

We have learned of your published research on lifestyles. We would like to invite your participation in our publishing program. In particular, I have in mind a new research or review article for an edited collection (invitation only) being assembled under my overall direction tentatively entitled

Sedentary Lifestyle: Causes and Consequences

The deadline for the abstract is January 10th 2011 and for the completed chapter April 10th 2011.

Proposals to serve as Editor of this volume are welcome up to the abstract deadline. Please send an email to [email protected] including your latest CV.

We also welcome proposals for new book series in this field as well as for membership on related Editorial Advisory Boards.

We invite you to refer below to an online alternative.

Edited Collection: The contributions for this edited book are intended to range from 4,000-35,000 words (chapters over 10,000 words can be updated by the author for the e-version of their chapter for a period of 2 years at intervals of 6 months, 12 months and 24 months after publication). If you are interested in participating, please consult the Notes for Contributors at the bottom of this letter. Should your schedule not allow a full contribution at this time, we would welcome either a Commentary or Short Communication of 1,000-4,000 words.

Publication will be about 6-9 months after the close of the volume. As soon as a book is listed on our Web site ( www.novapublishers.com), the codes in the status field are changed to indicate the production stages through publication.

Notes for Edited Book Chapter Contributors

1. There is no charge for inclusion in the finished book. An auxiliary service is available for any authors desiring Open Access.

The choice of theme and approach are at the discretion of the author but acceptance is only upon submission of the draft abstract. The line-up of chapters is a constantly changing landscape since discussions, commitments and submissions continue on a daily basis right up to and sometimes beyond the close of each volume. 6. Research results (studies) are the primary type of article desired but review articles are also welcome. The Commentary should deal with innovative ideas, developments, directions, misdirections, areas which need to be explored, future outlook, prior errors, problems, personnel, funding, or trends in the field which will be published separately under your name in a section titled Expert Commentary. The deadlines for the abstract for the Commentary and the full Commentary are the same as for regular articles. Please be sure to list the affiliations of the authors. References and figures are permitted without limitation. Short Communications are also subject to the abstract requirement and submission guidelines and deadlines. References and figures are permitted without limitation. 7. An abstract on the following form is required consisting of: 1. 250-700 words; 2. Author affiliations; and 3.

Contributors are encouraged to submit chapters ranging from 4,000-35,000 words (unless Expert Commentaries or Short Communications). In general, the longer the paper the better.

Coauthors may be added by you without discussion with Nova. 10. Publication is by invitation only. Reviewing is either carried out inhouse at Nova or outside peer-reviewed at the option of the authors. In the latter case, the peer-reviewer's name and affiliation must be included as part of the article to be located at the end after the References. It should be on a separate line 2 lines below the last reference and start with the words Reviewed by...................................It is the author's responsibility to contact the reviewer and take into account any suggestions or comments. 11.
