This study proposes a system to evaluate books and book chapters based on the perception of graduate program advisers affiliated to Capes (area 21) regarding the prestige of academic publishers. Ninety professors from all Brazilian regions responded to the questionnaire to assess their perception about the prestige of academic publishers. Almost all respondents (94.25%) considered the scientific quality of books as the most critical factor in determining publishers’ quality. The prestige value of international (N=69) and national (N=97) publishers were divided into deciles. We proposed an eight-level system to classify books and book chapters based on two criteria: a) their international or national publishers; and b) publishers’ deciles. Levels L1 to L4 refer to international publishers (from high to low quality perception), and L5 to L8 refer to national publishers (from high to low quality perception).
