Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Cambridge Scholars Publishing (CSP) is an academic book publisher based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It is not affiliated with the University of Cambridge or Cambridge University Press. It publishes in health science, life science, physical science and social science.[1] The company publishes some 700 books a year[2] but has been criticised "as being overly reliant on contributors to perform even basic copy editing of the texts" and a reviewer said of a book that "it gets stuck in a quagmire of editorial and copy-editing issues that simply shouldn't have been allowed to occur if proper quality control was exercised by Cambridge Scholars Publishing."[3]
The company previously published academic journals[4] including the discontinued titles Zambia Social Sciences Journal[5] and Review Journal of Political Philosophy.[6]
Although it was not included on the original Beall's List of predatory publishers, it has been included on an updated list on beallslist.net.[7] David H. Kaye's Flaky Academic Journals notes that "the journals do not look stellar; no editorial boards are listed."[8] Since 2019 the publisher has been rated as "Scientific level 0" (i.e. non-academic) in the Norwegian Scientific Index.[9] The firm's book publishing has been discussed critically at the forum Political Science Rumors[10] but has been praised at No Shelf Required.[11]
The firm is based in Newcastle in the "Lady Stephenson Library", a building which housed Newcastle's first branch library, given to the city by William Haswell Stephenson.[12] The building became the "West End Leisure and Learning" in 1984 and has since been used as a housing office,[13] and is now the location of four registered companies.[14]
