We find book chapters in well reputed books published by international publishers. At the same time we find review papers in international journals. Do they have different impact or are equally important in one's career.
Which one is better " A Book Chapter" or "A review paper in a journal"?
I think both are equally important in their own terms. A paper in a good impact factor journal helps in ones career and at the same time a book chapter also helps in ones career enhancement.
Thanks Mr. Panda.The scholarly book review serves many purposes and has the potential to be an influential literary form. It can help guide a readership's reading practices, provide authors with constructive feedback, and help publishers plan and develop future books. However, due to the expectations of these same stakeholders, it is a challenging literary form to master. A reviewer must be aware of not just the strategies employed to conduct a review, but should be knowledgeable of the many issues affecting the entire book review process. An appreciation of this literary form in a broader context will allow the altruistic reviewer to publish a review more likely to be perceived as a valuable contribution to the literature.
