Monongraph refers to a book/textbook about a single topic which is not part of a series.

I agree with Dr. Hahn. Monograph is a bigger publication on a topic, and can include not only personal experience or series but also data from relevant sources. It can be structured in separate chapters bringing comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

A monograph is a specialist book on a single subject written by one author and it can be on any topic but dedicated to that and that topic only. 

Dear Hahn, Tanchev and Poyen, well done for having this discussion. However, are there any academic papers that make these distinctions say between a textbook and a monograph. I'm sure some studies or notable examples would be much appreciated by a wider audience.

A monograph is a specialist book on a single subject written by one author such as al-Fusul fi al-Usul by al-Jassas in the subject of principles of Islamic Law, whereas, a book - in an academic sense - is a detailed exploration running into many pages on a particular subject. They can be a collection of papers penned by one author or several authors such as Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches by John W. Creswell. 

Brilliant response. Thank you so much!

Thank you all for sharing your ideas. I found many publishers who published books, research articles, review articles, thesis, short-notes, letter to the editor, etc. However, I would like to know any publisher who publish monograph? 

The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) is well know for Publishing Monographs!

Here is one example of a Monograph, if you are interested:

Chun, E., & Evans, A. (2016). Rethinking cultural competence in higher education: An ecological framework for student development. ASHE Higher Education Report, 42(4), 7-162. doi:10.1002/aehe.20102

Interesting.

A book (study) :

- over 100-120 pages;

- on a scientific subject;

- written by one author.

The materials included in the monograph must have been published and should not be included in the PhD thesis.

Monograph is a written work on a specialized subject borne out of cumulated experiences that is almost scholarly equated to a patent.

It seems there is confusion about how many authors there may be. What does the "mono" in monograph refer to? Is it the number of authors, or the fact that it is a book by ONE set of authors, or is it the fact that it is about ONE specialized subject?

I think the last suffices in that it is a specialized subject not poly subjects- though by one or more authors

Monograph is drafted on the specific topic ( non serial publication)

I think a monograph is a writing on a single topic, usually scientific. The word article has similar meaning, but articles are published in journals, serials and so on.

How do you cite a chapter within a monograph, do you cite as an journal article or author of the book?
