Not a scam that I know of anyway ; they appear to specialize in publishing dissertations and theses and are perhaps being aggressive in their expansion. However, they don't provide any editorial services, and I doubt if there is a peer review.

Essentially they publish dissertations and theses. Rather like the creation of the green American Express card — not a very exclusive group if everyone has one. Yes, Phoenix is in Arizona, and there is a University of Phoenix and a University of Arizona the latter located in Tucson, although it may have branches in other cities in the state. I take your point about a Ph. The concept of taught doctoral programs meaning a few years of coursework in addition to a dissertation is rather US-centric, so that may be why it sounds odd.

I am writing on behalf of Lambert Academic Publishing. Publishing houses have long been considered as closed to everyone, without any interaction with authors, book buyers and readers.

However, we, at LAP are different from conventional publishers. We do contact authors by email and propose publishing contract to them. Our aim is to provide knowledge to a wide market and connect the book buyers and readers to the right author and the books they are looking for.

Our books are distributed through more than 80, bookstores and more than 3, online shops worldwide. We are committed in providing the best publishing experience available to our authors, we are thus open to the concerns of all our authors and customers. While our request for bank details have been often assumed to be some type of identity fraud we wish reassure our authors that we use the VeriSign security system and that such request is for the sole purpose of royalties payment.

Upon suggestions of many authors we will be soon implementing new royalties payment methods such as Paypal.

Often confused with Vanity Press our publishing model is very different from it. We wish to provide the following details on the difference between a Vanity Press and our publishing model:. We bear all production,distribution and marketing cost for you and we pay you royalties for specific periods.

Your book is not tied up when you get a contract from LAP. In a time where most actors of the publishing industry are turning irrelevant and out of date, Lambert Academic Publishing partners with its authors to enter the new publishing era. Authors can join us now and be part of this revolution of the publishing industry.

From this point on I will not approve any comments made by you or your firm unless they speak directly to the points that I have made. Perhaps you would be kind enough to explain in detail the criteria that you use for selecting dissertations that you consider worthy of publication, assuming that you in fact select a subset of all dissertations.

If you believe it does, please explain why. What your firm appears to be is an author mill. Nor am I interested in whether, when, and how much you pay authors. Again, if you had actually read my post, you would have understood that I am questioning the scholarly ethos of tertiary faculty who choose to publish with your firm.

When I read your post I felt that I had to respond to your critique as you have not searched well enough before you criticized the faculty members you listed above. Below please find the note on the first page my book that was published by Lambert Academic Publishing:.

So, I have not hidden the fact that this book was published out of my dissertation. In fact, I am proud that it is sold in many bookstores throughout the world as well as on the internet by big companies such as amazon.

The publisher sends me my annual share when enough amount is accrued in my account. Please do not judge academicians without conducting a thorough search. My book was published 4 years after I was hired by UAEU, and my chair as well as my dean are well aware of the fact that it was published out my dissertation.

Moreover, as you claimed in your post it is not my sole publication yes, maybe my only book , it is one of the twelve international publications that I managed to complete in my short career 6 years as a professor. Below is a list of my publications for your records:. Buldu, M. Making learning visible in kindergarten classrooms: Pedagogical documentation as a formative assessment.
