Bagui is associate editor for International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications and serves on the editorial board for several other journals.

Bagui has co-authored several books on database and SQL. Her books have been published by some of the top computer science publishers, including Addison Wesley/Pearson, O’Reilly Publishers, Jones and Bartlett, CRC Press and Taylor and Francis.
