Books and book chapters in medicine: is the juice worth the squeeze?

---

Jul 23, Emily rated it it was amazing. Personally I love this book in many different ways. I wasn't able to put the book down and when I did I was eager to get back in to it because it was probably that I was sleeping or in the car! I personally think that if you are looking to read a book in less than 24 hours and just need something to just do I recommend this book. I do not like how they didn't say who the princess and prince was at the end, but it was kinda obvious and that was just one thing out of pages!

Apr 16, Imani rated it really liked it. Juicy Gossip is about a girl. She is head of the newspaper committee. Her parents opened a juice bar and now she is mortified, because its in the middle of the mall where everybody from school will be YIKES!!!! On top of that The newspaper might be shut down!!!

In order to stop that she puts the school gossip in the newspapers so more school kids will read them, and the newspaper committee will not have to be shut down.

So, now that her parents are forcing her to work there three days a week and wear a pineapple hat -- no kidding , Jenna is terrified that her nonexistent popularity could go further into the negative. That is, if anyone notices she's there. As if that wasn't bad enough, Jenna has just found out that her beloved paper might be cut from the curriculum, along with a bunch of other activities. She writes a front page article about it, begging other students to rise up and fight the budget cuts, but she's horrified to find that no one even reads the paper that she puts so much work into.

Jenna is going to have to find some way to get the other students to take notice. Lucky for her, she seems to overhear a lot of gossip at the counter of the food court.

Could a gossip column work to save the school paper? Even though Jenna comes off as a highly eccentric heroine sometimes distractingly so , one can appreciate her struggle as she weighs moral choices against accomplishing a worthy, selfless end. Jan 02, Jamika rated it really liked it Recommends it for: What i've learned from this book is that the main character is slik. So Stacey and Jasmine start hanging out with Jenna to see what she knows and Keisha gets mad at Jenna becasue she thinks Jenna would rather hang out with Stacy and Jasmine.

I predict that in the end everyone will know that Jenna did what she did for a good reason Mar 01, Megan rated it really liked it. I read this as part of my job to see what age group it would be appropriate for and I must say that it was very cute, appropriate for I'd say grades , and that I would actually read more of this series!

Given the outrageous pricing structures and lack of an open access culture with traditional book publishers, I wonder is anyone reads my books and chapters?

I never get any data from my publishers on how many copies were sold. But I have a bad feeling that very few people read my books. Libraries in rich countries might buy these medical books, but who is using libraries these days? I also worry that those who really need my book can never get hold of it. In my case, this is a big issue for me, since I work on tuberculosis, a disease that primarily affects people in low and middle income countries. What about getting paid for our contributions and time? Well, the quick answer is authors even editors of book chapters generally get nothing!

I put in a lot of time into this, over a 3-year period.

Did not get paid, and did not ask for it. The only publisher that has compensated me for my contributions is UpToDate , owned by Wolters Kluwer. But UpToDate keeps me busy by asking me to update my chapter periodically. Will we get paid with free copies?

All authors love to get copies to give away to others and we secretly hope our avid readers will ask for our autographs! Generally, medical publishers will send you 1 hard copy of the book. Sometimes we have to chase them to get even 1 free copy! I co-authored a chapter for a book called Essentials of Tuberculosis in Children by Jaypee, and they never sent me a copy, despite my request! Apparently, I did not qualify, since I was not the first author of the book chapter.

Another publisher asked me to pay to publish in their e-book! Do books matter for tenure and promotions?

I have been through the tenure process, and I have also served on tenure committees. My work is well cited and the H-index is not shabby , but none of my highly cited work are from books. When I review tenure dossiers, I rarely look at the section on books! So, I seriously doubt if any of my book contributions had the slightest impact on my own tenure and promotions.

As I mentioned earlier, I realize this is different in social sciences and arts, where books might be critical for tenure. There are much better, faster and easier ways to get our work out. But my colleagues in medicine may have had better experiences. I suspect I am not alone. Like me, most academics in medicine will continue to waste their time on books and chapters. Hey, we are academics.

We are vain, and have big egos. And we love to see our names in print and sign autographs! In the interest of transparency: I work for Springer Nature, the publisher of one of your books. Thank you for your post. While I understand your arguments, I do believe we have already found solutions for the most important issues that you raise, and we are continuing to work on improving the book, be it in print or electronic.

Books are an interesting topic, also from a scientific perspective. They are much more diverse than journal articles, and the reasons why researchers write books or contribute to them, or the reasons why readers read them differ very much from each other. Books have also seen a lot of change in the last couple of years. I believe the changes will be even more fundamental in the near future, but let me come to that a bit later.

You mention the unfavorable timeliness of books. I totally agree that it is not acceptable if an author contributes to a large handbook which will only be published many years later. Later, the book can be updated on a daily basis, either with additional chapters, or with updates for existing ones if a chapter gets outdated. Once a final stage is reached, the book is of course available in print as well as in electronic form. We therefore can combine the speed of a journal with the concept of a self-contained reference book. Then, you are concerned about the affordability of books, and, related to it, accessibility.

The books you mentioned are typically bought by institutions, not by individuals. These eBook collections also allow us to charge different prices for the same eBook collection depending on the buyer institution. Your wish that smaller, less wealthy institutions pay less for the book is already reality. Accessibility of these books for researchers in Africa and Asia is much higher today than it ever was and in many cases accessibility is higher for certain books than for journals, because a library with scarce resources will not easily commit to long-term subscriptions of all journals of interest.

Additionally, we offer now the possibility to publish books in an open access business model, very similar to how it works in the journal world. Funders are more and more supportive for OA books, so I believe we will see much more of them in the near future. When it comes to usage and impact data, at least Springer Nature is very transparent.

Please check out www. You will find data how often the book was downloaded, cited, tweeted about, mentioned in other social media, mentioned in the news and many more indicators. Your Springer handbook was just published this June, and therefore could not collect any citations yet, but by browsing the database you may find out that books are actually much more used, downloaded, and cited than you probably thought.

And this usage is brought in by libraries who subscribe the eBook collections that are used by millions of researchers and students all over the world — even if they are not aware that the book they are using online was bought by their library. I will definitely not advocate that everything should be published as a book.

I totally agree that some chapters would benefit from being published as journal articles. I also agree that authors should not work with a publisher who requires payments as a precondition to accept a book manuscript.
