River Rapids
A shorter, faster publishing route from River Publishers

River Rapids are concise books between 50-120 pages on topics across the Applied Sciences. Rapids are innovative resources for academic and professional communities and are authored by prominent contributors. They provide authoritative content for researchers, professors, students, and practicing engineers.
Rapids are highly focused on active, cutting-edge research topics that don't appear in traditional monographs, while also providing more depth and analysis than typical journal articles. They are the ideal entry point to new areas while being more modular and accessible than typical print or digital handbooks and edited volumes.
Rapids Series include:

  • Computer Science (General)
  • Electronic Materials, Circuits, and Devices
  • Energy

  • Concise Sets of Lecture Notes

The eBooks will be available through IEEE Xplore and IEEE Discovery Point, Knovel, and Taylor & Francis platforms, giving them both wide visibility and discoverability. Rapids will also be available as paperbacks via the usual online retailers on a print-on-demand basis.
