**Shaker Verlag** is a German publishing house located in [Düren](/source/D%C3%BCren) and [Maastricht](/source/Maastricht), established in 1986 by Dr. Chaled Shaker. Shaker Verlag is a [publisher](/source/Publisher) of scientific literature, especially [monographs](/source/Monograph) and [dissertations](/source/Dissertation). More than 20,000 books[1] are in stock, many of them in English, also sold as [PDF](/source/PDF)-files for immediate download. 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](/source/Print_on_demand) technology.[2] In contrast to the main business, this company addresses the general book market. Similar to other Book on Demand services, anyone can upload a finished book without additional costs.

The house is recognised to have no academic reputation because of the lack of quality criteria.[3]

Furthermore, Shaker Verlag has been criticised for their aggressive e-mail campaigns.[4][3]
