Questions related to Book Industry
Are sciences more of a continuum from hard to soft than those two as discrete categories? How? Why? I think the former. My book here somewhat touches on that question:
I mean what are the programming languages used in building libraries on the Internet I am still a beginner and I would like to build a library that contains various books and I want your advice and opinion on this and I also want to know how long it takes I previously learned the HTML language and css and a bit of c++. I would like a good explanation please.
In many countries, reading is reportedly declining, we read less and less books, which is reportedly related to the development of information media on the Internet. Perhaps the development of social media also contributes to the declining readability of books.
I have a favor to ask:
Please enter the title of the book on literature you read last time?
Please reply

I received an email from Nova press, NY with a request to provide research or review chapter(s) for a book cooperation within the scope of my research interests. I would be interested, if you have i) experience with this kind of publication and ii) where are the benefits in terms of dissemination and/or citations etc.?
As books usually are not made open access, I do only see a benefit for the publisher as they earn money with this. The authors are not paid for their work and have no share on the revenue... so why should I cooperate? Prestige??
Many thanks for your input,
Richard
What is academic value of self published e-books on Amazon self Publishing or any other self publishing channel? E-books as reliable citation source?
I have been working with both practitioners and academicians since last 7 years. I worked in corporate sector in strategy, customer experience, customer value management and analytics section.
As a corporate trainer, I am conducting training's on customer advocacy and customer value management. So far I have worked with more than more 100 companies as an independent consultant.
With academicians I have co-authored more than 20 papers and working on many more.
Throughout these seven years, I recorded almost everyday in my journal. I learned many things.
I would like to share all this in such a way that it should be interesting for all three segments. In this context I think the e-Book is something which everyone can easily read. However, I am also concerned about value of E-book in eyes of academicians? In terms of citations and profile of researcher/writer?
I just discovered today that the publisher of a journal in which I had an article published in 2016 has reprinted that article in a huge four-volume compendium (listing no editor).
I am sure that our copyright contract gave them permission to do this, but should I treat it as a separate publication in my CV?
I do not believe that any changes have been made to the text of the original.
I have not come across this circumstance before.
Many publishers ask authors to provide LaTeX source of their article or book. It is believed that this helps in easier handling of the publication tasks. However, it seems that publishers use some other "Photoshop-like" software at the end of the publication process for copy-editing and similar tasks. Does LaTeX lack a specific feature that forces publishers to use these labor-intensive software?
The percent recognised to the authors is often lower than the discounts on the cover price offered to distributors of printed book.
For e-books, the computation is obscure and penalising because most downloadings are done in the frame of forfait contracts and because often not based on the single title.
