Monograph

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

(Redirected from Monographs)

Monograph is a specialist work of writing (in contrast to reference works) or exhibition on a single subject or an aspect of a subject, often by a single author or artist, and usually on a scholarly subject.

In library cataloging, monograph has a broader meaning, that of a nonserial publication complete in one volume (book) or a definite number of volumes. Thus it differs from a serial publication such as a magazine, journal, or newspaper.

In this context only, books such as novels are monographs.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The word monograph denotes a single scholarly article or a treatise on a single subject or a group of related subjects, usually written by one person. The author of a monograph is also known as a monographer. Monographs are often the first stage of academic publication for doctoral work. The certified dissertation is often published as a monograph.

Types of Monographs[edit | edit source]

There are two types of monographs:

  1. Specialist monographs: These are often written by researchers who have carried out research on a specific topic or field. They present the detailed findings of the research. These are often published by academic publishers.
  2. Introductory monographs: These are written with an introductory note on a particular topic. They are often used as textbooks or instructional books.
