What is a monograph?
A monograph is a scientific publication dedicated to an in-depth study of a specific topic or issue. It presents the results of original research, theoretical generalisations, and well-founded conclusions aimed at expanding knowledge in a particular field.
Such scholarly works play a key role in academic activity, as they are taken into account during attestation, dissertation defence, and when applying for academic titles or positions.
One of the advantages of a monograph is that it can substitute several scientific articles. For example, a chapter in a monograph may be considered equivalent to publications required for dissertation defence, provided its volume is at least one printed sheet and the book is published by a prestigious international publisher such as Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Routledge, Taylor & Francis, or by a university press ranked among the TOP-100 in global rankings (US News Best Global Universities, Academic Ranking of World Universities, Times Higher Education).
What criteria should a monograph meet?
- monothematic focus: concentration on a single problem or topic
- competence and credibility: thoroughness and reliability of the presented data
- novelty and relevance: contribution to science through new ideas or approaches
- accuracy of presentation: clear structure and academic writing style
- connection with previous research: analysis and citation of relevant studies by other scholars
Types of monographs
Монографии делятся на два типа: индивидуальные и коллективные, каждый из которых одинаково ценен в академической среде.
- An individual monograph is written by a single author and reflects the results of their personal research.
- A collective monograph is created by a group of authors, each responsible for a separate section, while a common concept unites the entire work. In this case, the contribution of each author must be at least three printed sheets.
Публикация монографии предполагает прохождение рецензирования, редакционной обработки, присвоение ISBN и размещение в открытом доступе или издательском каталоге. Наличие монографии в научном портфолио укрепляет профессиональный статус автора, повышает его конкурентоспособность и способствует распространению результатов исследований в научной среде.
