Call for Contribution: A New E-Book about Small-Scale Fisheries and Small-Scale Fish Farming of Nepal
We are excited to announce the forthcoming publication of an e-book focusing on small-scale fisheries and small-scale fish farming in Nepal, to be published in the TBTI Global Publication Series (https://tbtiglobal.net/publications/). We cordially invite you to contribute your valuable insights and expertise to this collaborative project.
About the E-book
This E-book aims to consolidate widely scattered information about small-scale fisheries and small-scale fish farming in Nepal into a single volume. The content of the E-book will also be integrated into the web-based, open-access Information System on Small-Scale Fisheries (ISSF; https://issfcloud.toobigtoignore.net/) developed by TBTI. As a contributor, you will have the opportunity to share your unique perspectives, experiences, and knowledge about small-scale fisheries and small-scale fish farming in Nepal, and be properly recognized for your contribution as the author of your respective chapter.
Why Contribute?
Visibility: Your contribution will be showcased to a diverse, national and international audience, allowing you to expand your reach and influence.
Collaboration: Join forces with other thought leaders and professionals in the field, fostering a community of shared knowledge and expertise.
Impact: Contribute to a valuable resource that will benefit readers seeking information on small-scale fisheries and small-scale fish farming.
Influence: More knowledge about small-scale fisheries and small-scale fish farming means better decisions. Your contribution can influence how they are managed and governed.
Submission Guidelines:
We are looking for various types of submissions, from research-based articles to short stories and experiences, and cultural and artistic expressions. We strongly encourage work related to the history of small-scale fisheries and fish farming in Nepal and how they are managed, values and importance of small-scale fisheries and small-scale farming, as well as commentaries and interviews with fishers and fish farmers.
Contributors can also choose to contribute by completing either one or both of the attached questionnaire templates: “20 Questions about Small-Scale Fisheries” and “Blue Justice Template.” Data completed using the templates will be entered in ISSF, in addition to being part of the e-book.
How to Contribute and Deadlines:
Submit an ‘Expression of Interest’ by January 20, 2024. This should include your name, affiliation, and email address, and 200 words about your contribution, such as what topics, what fisheries, where, and the type of contribution (e.g. research article, short stories, commentaries, etc.)
Please submit your EoI to: [email protected]
Then you will prepare the first ‘rough’ draft and submit it for discussion and feedback by the editorial team by February 10, 2024.
