About PLUMA
PLUMA Publications is a developing Philippine publishing company committed to helping educators, researchers, graduate students, and aspiring authors prepare their work for professional publication.
Our primary focus is Dissertation and Graduate Research Publication. We assist qualified authors in developing completed academic research into publication-ready journal articles or academic books, depending on the nature, quality, and intended purpose of the manuscript.
We also offer Book-on-Demand and Editorial Services while developing General Education textbooks and other academic learning materials.
Our Services
Dissertation and Graduate Research Publication
We help graduate researchers explore appropriate publication pathways for their completed theses, dissertations, and research papers. Depending on the manuscript, this may involve developing the research into a journal article or transforming it into an academic book.
All submissions are subject to editorial assessment and, when applicable, peer review. Submission does not automatically guarantee acceptance or publication.
Book-on-Demand
Our Book-on-Demand service supports authors who want to publish their manuscripts in professionally prepared book form. Services may include manuscript assessment, editing, formatting, book layout, cover design, and printing coordination, depending on the selected package and the needs of the project.
Editorial Services
PLUMA provides editorial support to help improve the organization, clarity, consistency, and presentation of manuscripts. The appropriate level of editing is determined after reviewing the manuscript and understanding the author’s intended output.
