In the world of scientific research and higher education, getting published is essential for academic careers. But unlike consumer fiction or trade books, academic publishing requires rigorous vetting, international catalog indexing, and strict standards for original research.

In this episode of the Turn One Studio Podcast, host Eliud Custodio sits down with Nadya Columbus, President of Nova Science Publishers based in the Hauppauge Industrial Park on Long Island.

Founded in 1985, Nova is an independent academic publisher whose titles are distributed to college libraries, research institutions, and platforms like Scopus worldwide. Nadya shares how the academic publishing model works, why Nova rejects 70% of manuscript proposals, how print-on-demand technology keeps books continuously in print, and why strict anti-AI policies are critical for preserving scientific integrity.
