Assistance with a monograph

What is a monograph?

A monograph is a scientific publication dedicated to an in-depth study of a single topic or issue. It presents the results of original research, theoretical generalisations, and well-founded conclusions aimed at expanding knowledge in a particular field.

A monograph is an important element of academic activity and is often taken into account during evaluations, dissertation defences, and when obtaining academic titles or positions.

What criteria should a monograph meet?

• monothematic focus: concentration on a single issue or topic
• competence and reliability: depth and accuracy of the data
• novelty and relevance: contribution to science through new ideas or approaches
• clarity of presentation: clear structure and scientific style
• connection with previous research: analysis and citation of relevant works by other scholars

Types of monographs

Monographs are divided into two types: individual and collective, each of which is equally valued in the academic community.

1. An individual monograph is a work written by a single author that reflects the results of their personal research. It is critically important for scholars seeking to obtain a Doctor of Science degree, as having at least one such work is a mandatory requirement. Without an individual monograph of at least 10 printed sheets, a dissertation committee will not allow the candidate to defend their dissertation.
2. A collective monograph is created by a group of authors, where each is responsible for a separate section, and the entire work is united by a common concept.

The publication of a monograph involves peer review, editorial processing, assignment of an ISBN, and placement in open access or in a publisher’s catalogue. Having a monograph in a researcher’s academic portfolio strengthens their professional status, increases competitiveness, and promotes the dissemination of research results within the scientific community.
