About Contemporary Innovations Journal
The Contemporary Innovations Journal (CIJ) is a multi-disciplinary open access publisher committed to the free and unrestricted dissemination of scholarly knowledge. CIJ publishes more than 30 peer-reviewed journals and book series across science, technology, engineering, social sciences, and the humanities.
The CIJ Open Books programme extends our open-access mission to long-form scholarly publishing. We recognise that not all significant research can be contained within the confines of a journal article.
Monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, and research handbooks represent essential forms of academic contribution — and they deserve the same commitment to quality, accessibility, and global distribution that defines all CIJ publications.
Every title in the CIJ Open Books catalogue undergoes rigorous peer review, professional copyediting, and digital formatting for seamless reading across all devices. Authors retain intellectual ownership while readers enjoy unrestricted access.
All books and chapters published on this platform are freely available to read, download, and redistribute under Creative Commons licences (CC-BY-NC-SA) with article processing charges for authors or sponsors.
