B1 book chapters

This category refers to a contribution, consisting substantially of new material, to an edited book or compilation that is peer reviewed and subject to editorial scrutiny.

B1 Book chapter requirements

To be included in this category, the publication must meet the definition of research and:

• be research published in the current collection year, and the year of publication must be stated within or on the work being claimed, with the exception of the expanded year of publication
• have an International Standard Book Number
• have been published by a commercial publisher, or if not published by a commercial publisher, must have been peer-reviewed
• at least one author must be affiliated with Griffith.

Book chapter types

The types of book chapters that may meet the criteria include:

• a scholarly introduction of chapter length to an edited volume, where the content of the introduction reports research and makes a substantial contribution to a defined area of knowledge
• a critical scholarly text of chapter length, such as in music, medieval or classical texts
• critical reviews of current research

Important note: Many of the books published by professional bodies don’t report original research findings but report the results of evaluations, or repackage existing information for the benefit of professionals or practitioners. Only publications that report research activities are eligible as B1.
