Synthesis is a revolutionary collection of e-books: dynamic presentations of key R&D topics written by leading engineers and scientists. SYNTHESIS titles’ coverage ranges from core undergraduate course areas, such as circuit and system design, to more specialised upper-division and graduate-level topics in biomedical, environmental, and electrical engineering, as well as the state of the art in computer science and engineering research from academic, corporate, and government labs.

Synthesis titles are now available in five subject collections, perfect for institutions who would like to purchase a portion of the content instead of the full collection. Each of these sub-collections is comprised of titles from Synthesis Collection One and Two.

The library and its lectures are organised by series. Each series is managed by a prominent consulting editor. The series editor guides lecture topic and author selection as well as peer review. New series and lectures will be added continuously and existing lectures will be revised as needed. This will make the collection dynamic in a way that has not been achieved with traditional reference or educational products.

The Synthesis platform provides the user with access to content in PDF with live links to references and sophisticated search and personalisation functions.

Access to the Synthesis platform is available by institutional subscription. Individual lectures are available for purchase in print and via downloadable PDF.

The basic component of the library is a 50- to 100-page "Lecture"; a self-contained electronic book that synthesizes an important research or development topic, authored by an expert contributor to the field. Offering unique value to the reader by providing more analysis and depth than the typical research journal article. They are also more dynamic and convenient than traditional print or digital handbooks, contributed volumes, and monographs.

ONE-TIME FEE, PERPETUAL ACCESS PURCHASE

SYNTHESIS collections are licensed as perpetual-access one-time purchases. Access to SYNTHESIS is via an institution’s IP range. The Lectures are PDF documents and are available for unlimited simultaneous use, courses and e-reserve, and can be printed and emailed. Lectures are published throughout the year and licensing institutions receive immediate access to the lectures as they are published.
