Monograph

A monograph is a scholarly publication that can be a revised version of a dissertation or thesis, published by university presses or commercial publishers. Authors may receive royalties for monographs, which are edited for readability and cater to a diverse audience, including students, academics, practitioners, and laypeople in the field of social sciences.

Palgrave Pivots

Palgrave Pivot has enabled authors to publish at lengths of between 25,000 and 50,000 words – longer than a journal article, but shorter than a monograph, taking advantage of a swift and flexible publication process to dramatically reduce publication times.

VAT/local taxes are added where applicable. 

For other book types such as books longer than quoted above, booklets, textbooks or reference works, please get in touch with a commissioning editor ebooks@stemio.org
