Translation Rights
IGI Global publications are published in English and distributed throughout the world. Many of our high-quality publications have been translated into other languages. It is IGI Global's practice to work with established foreign publishers who wish to translate, publish, and sell a published IGI Global title.
In order to simplify the project for its foreign counterparts, the IGI Global Translation Rights contract proposes a simple fee structure based on a one-time upfront license fee, which is valid for five (5) years and not dependent on the foreign publisher tracking and reporting royalties to IGI Global.
You are encouraged to view the IGI Global website featuring detailed information on each publication, or review the latest IGI Global Book Catalog. Please contact IGI Global's Marketing Division, at marketing@igi-global.com for more information.
For Translators, because IGI Global only deals with foreign publishers who wish to translate, print, and sell our publications, it is recommended that you identify publishers in your region, who publish in the areas of information science and technology research, and submit a proposal to that publisher to be the lead translator on the project.
The organization responsible for overseeing the publication process should complete the IGI Global Translation Rights Request form and return to IGI Global. IGI Global does not work directly with translators. For your convenience, the IGI Global website offers a preview of each chapter of the book, as well as the preface and table of contents!
