Publications
Program Objective
The FSS Publication Program is aimed at disseminating the Forum’s research findings to a wide spectrum of readership to raise awareness and facilitate informed policy/decision-making, generate debate on key development issues and engender further research.
Publication Policy
FSS’ publications are primarily the outputs of its research and public dialogue programs. Occasionally, FSS publishes scholarly manuscripts submitted to it by independent researchers. Generally, works produced under the FSS research report, monograph and book series are published after they have been positively assessed by peer reviewers. Copyright over the works published by FSS is often shared with the authors. FSS does not pay royalty to contributing authors since about a third of all copies of an edition are distributed free of charge to key stakeholders, including major public and research libraries in the country, while the remaining copies are sold to members of the public at subsidized minimal prices to recover part of the printing cost.
