Abstract:Self-publishing is common outside the academy, but faculty members rarely publish their own books. In this essay, a University of California professor explains why she chose to self-publish her book about academic writing and the costs and benefits of that choice.
期刊介绍:
For more than 40 years, the Journal of Scholarly Publishing has been the authoritative voice of academic publishing. The journal combines philosophical analysis with practical advice and aspires to explain, argue, discuss, and question the large collection of new topics that continually arise in the publishing field. JSP has also examined the future of scholarly publishing, scholarship on the web, digitization, copyright, editorial policies, computer applications, marketing, and pricing models. It is the indispensable resource for academics and publishers that addresses the new challenges resulting from changes in technology and funding and from innovations in production and publishing.
