Research papers are in brief, book chapters are in detail. Can publishing a prepublished research as a new expanded book chapter be acceptable in the academic world?
Thanks a lot for good answer. As per my question, the chapter will be in an "expanded form"; whereas, the prepublished article might be in a "contracted form".
I think that, it may be acceptable to some editors, if many things new are now added in an expanded form.
I have published a solo book and the copyright of that book was not transferred, as the price of that book was too high people was not able to purchase it. So I have written a small article out of it and publish in a international journal.
