Prequalifying proposals • Ensure the author holds a graduate-level degree; scientific authors should hold a doctorate (Ph. D or MD equivalent) • Verify that the author is established and respected in their field • Ensure the author can clearly define the audience for the work by asking for related courses or courses of study and/or related titles. • Ask the author to identify how their book will satisfy a market need that no other available book/website satisfies. • Ask the author to identify at least one related Elsevier title. • Confirm that the audience for the work is scientific/ technical. Books for a general audience with no scientific or technical education are not well-placed with Elsevier. • Ask that the author provide the names of 3 -5 potential reviewers of the work who are not affiliated with the same institution • Define the scope of the work – number of pages, need for color, need for a companion site, related material that many be incorporated to improve the package. 1 3
