Academic and Scholarly Publication
In scholarly and academic publishing, scientific and non-fiction books that are released serially (in successive parts) once a year, or less often, are also called a series. (Publications that are released more often than once a year are known as periodicals.) The connection among books belonging to such a series can be by discipline, focus, approach, type of work, or geographic location. Examples of such series include Antwerp working papers in linguistics; Early English manuscripts in facsimile; Garland reference library; Canterbury Tales Project; Early English Text Society.

“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.”
