Guidelines for proposing a volume in the Proceedings of the British Academy series

The Introduction will describe the aims of the volume, and explain the comparative framework that holds the papers together. [...] By explaining the current evidence/theories and then discussing the new evidence/theories, you lead naturally to looking forward towards the future of the field and exciting the reader about the possibilities of research in this area. [...] Selection process Discipline-relevant assessors (usually Fellows of the British Academy) will evaluate the following: how well conceived your volume is; whether the work offers an innovative approach; the calibre and range of the proposed contributors; the quality of the scholarship to be published; whether it features cutting-edge research; and the likely impact of the volume on scholarship. [...] As part of your relationship with us, the British Academy’s Publishing Department will use your personal data to: process your application; pass your application onto the proceedings assessors and to the awarding Committee (Fellows of the British Academy who serve on the Publications and Conferences Committee); and to convey the outcome of your application. [...] - The legal basis of processing We will process your personal data for the purposes identified in this document on the following legal bases: • Our legitimate interests, which relate to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of administering the Proceedings of the British Academy scheme, as outlined in this document • Where you have freely consented to our use of your personal data.
