Many times we find topic of interest is available in a specific journal, it is bought many of times online, this cannot benefit the authors, in fact the author is unable to distribute the manuscript to any individual, a policy of publishing journal, apart from this a different scenario is that some book publishing company provide incentive for author's, when his/her publication every time bought, can we lay down or recall any limitation/s of both this (books and scientific article) with exception to patent. Please provide your suggestions, advice or comments?
This is a good question, Prabhakar: whether to`publish information as articles or as a book. As an author of 17 books and about 200 articles, I find that some themes lend themselves to articles, and others to full-length books. In my field, Humanities, books enjoy five times the prestige that articles do. In the hard sciences, articles outshine books in prestige. A seasoned scholar should publish both books and articles. But he should publish in tune with the demands of his subject matter as well as in harmony with the usages of his particular field.
Amazon permits free self-publishing. Each time someone buy a copy of your book on amazon, amazon print a copy and ship it to the buyer, (there are also the kindle or the audio options) and send you a royalty.
