Abstract

For many years, scholarly books have been and continue to be an important channel of scholarly communication and a unit for research assessment. Books as a mean of scholarly publication are more frequently used in social sciences and humanities (SSH), yet remain essential for communication in science, technology and medicine (STM) (Bonaccorsi et al., 2017). However, in the context of research assessment, books and especially monographs are extensively discussed as an output in crisis due to the threats arising in relation to their quality and production (Basili and Lanzillo, 2018). In this work, we present a comprehensive and still ongoing study on the assessment of books in Lithuania to fill in the gaps in international knowledge on that topic.
