Each LIHE symposium results in an international anthology. It is of our highest interest to produce high quality publications. One way of securing this is by installing a thorough review process. Each published chapter has been through two double blind reviews, two editorial reviews, a peer review, and a review process from our publisher Libri Publishing Ltd.
