Scholarly books (or monographs) are peer reviewed (or referred). They have been evaluated by one or more specialists before publication. These titles are often published by university presses (University of North Carolina Press), scholarly associations (Royal Society of Chemistry), but include other reputable presses/publishers/imprints (Wiley-Blackwell, Routledge). Like scholarly articles, scholarly books will include citations and be written by experts in the field of study.
