Shaker Verlag is a publisher of scientific literature, especially monographs and dissertations.
In addition, more than 400 series[1] have been published (publications by scientific institutions, research results as well as conference and congress proceedings of European events and meetings).
In 2007, the subsidiary Shaker Media GmbH in Herzogenrath was formed to promote a hybrid solution combining the original publishing activity and modern Print on demand technology.
[2] In contrast to the main business, this company addresses the general book market.
Similarly to OmniScriptum, Shaker Verlag has been criticised of their lack of rigorous editing and non-existent peer review.
