How do I get indexed in the World Book of Researchers?
Submit a nomination — self or peer — through our Nominate Now page. Our editorial board reviews each submission before it is added to the index.
Is self-nomination allowed?
Yes. Researchers may nominate themselves or be nominated by a colleague. Both paths go through the same editorial review process.
How much does indexing cost?
A basic digital listing is free. Reviewed entries with printed inclusion, and Professorship credential review, are paid tiers described on our Pricing page.
When is the printed edition available?
The World Book of Researchers 2026 edition is available from 31 December. Pre-orders through the Book page ship first.
How long does editorial review take?
Most nominations are reviewed within 15 business days. You'll receive an email once a decision is made.
Can journals apply to become a WBR partner?
Yes — journal editors can apply through our Contact page. We review editorial standards before accepting new partner journals.
What is the International Professor certification?
It's a credential review service where our board evaluates your research record and certifies eligibility to hold the title of International Professor with WBR.
