They are Vanity Press and also a 'real' company, but they charge exhorbitant ammounts for unedited print-on-demand books that they advertise as 'academic' in Amazon.

Many American and Australian universities warn students and staff against publishing with them (in Australia, Lambert publications are explicitly exluded from submission to the HERDC):

Thank you Rakesh for your comment. A few of my friends did get their dissertation published through Lambert and are quite happy about it as well. But the thing is Lambert publishes it verbatim (as it is written) without an editor validating it as happens with most peer reviewed journals. I am just worried how much clout it would have in an academic setting. Do refer to anonymous's comment on the same.

Thank you again for stopping by. :)

Gaurav,

Its a composite editor that they've used to create tiled panoramas, similar
to WMS like tile caches. Usage is free for non commercial purposes.

Flawlessly makes composites (panoramas) from images.

Best,
Utsav

Prasit probably is referring to your statements like 'For instance, an employee may be penalised for sharing (read leaking) financial information.'

The question s/he asked is: "why don't you just write '...penalised for leaking', instead of '... penalised for sharing (read leaking)' ? :)

Just a guess though!

Didn't quite get what you meant Prasit! Care to elaborate?

If you keep writing (...read so n so), why don't you just write it in the first place. :)
Haven't fully read it yet...

thanks watchful,
my point exactly. :D I am considering posting about how Lambert approaches students and academics alike with their proposal soon enough :D

I will be wary if I were you about this offer to publish your work of any kind, academic or non-academic. No university in good standing will accept such publications for any purpose whether for grad admission or for faculty appointment.
