Publishing with Camtree - for individuals

Why publish with Camtree?

  • No publication charges for authors
  • A global audience for your research
  • Publish in any language
  • Indexing by CORE, WorldCat and Google Scholar
  • Supportive peer-review process
  • A DOI number for easy citation of your publication
  • Support for abstracting and keyword selection
  • Certificates of publication
Camtree provides publication templates for authors with advice and guidance, as well as online tools to generate abstracts and keywords.  We also have resources to help you convert an existing dissertation or thesis into a publishable report aimed at a practitioner audience.  You can find these in our resources area.  If you have questions about publishing with us, email us at camtree@hughes.cam.ac.uk or fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
Unlike a conventional academic journal, Camtree can publish additional materials to accompany research reports: learning resources, examples of student work, datasets, images, audio and video. Everything your readers might need to apply your ideas and findings in their own educational settings!

Currently 'Submit Research' will redirect you to a Google Form in a new browser tab or window.  If you are unable to use this form for any reason, please email your submission to camtree@hughes.cam.ac.uk.

Publishing with Camtree - for organisations

Camtree supports educational organisations - from individual schools to national networks - to develop and publish collections of close-to-practice research.  Hosted collections give all the advantages of having your own digital library or research hub at a fraction of the cost of running it yourself. 

Visit our partner pages to see how we have supported organisations and groups to set up digital library collections.

Syndicating your existing publications with Camtree

If you already have a collection of teacher research (whether this is in an existing digital library, published as a journal or conference proceedings, or is a collection of resources on a website) you can share its details through Camtree.  We can present and index 'virtual collections' of your publications within the Camtree library.  Options include:
  • Increase the reach and impact of your publications 
  • Benefit from Camtree's indexing by search engines 
  • Select which of your publications you want to share with Camtree 
  • 'Copies of record' can be hosted by Camtree, or remain in place at their source
  • Permanent identifiers for your publications and - if hosted on Camtree - DOI numbers too
If you have existing collections of valuable teacher research and would like to reach additional audiences through the Camtree digital library and its user networks please get in touch with us at camtree@hughes.cam.ac.uk or complete the inquiry form below.
