Knowing this will help you figure out the best way to search for it. So, let&#8217;s dive into the main types of scientific literature you&#8217;ll come across during your academic journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\" style=\"list-style-type:1\">\n<li>Books &#8211; they&#8217;re often called monographs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book chapters &#8211; these are sections from books, and they&#8217;re sometimes referred to as contributions to collective works.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Journal articles &#8211; you&#8217;ll find these in scientific journals, not in regular newspapers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Websites.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>But how can you tell them apart? Here&#8217;s some information to help you out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Book<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Books can be identified by the presence of both a <strong>publisher<\/strong> and a <strong>place of publication<\/strong> listed in their details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-twentytwentyone-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/library.wu.ac.at\/bib\/fit4research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/book_new-1024x147.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the first entry in the reading list (by Page, Stephen).

Book chapter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re looking at information for a book chapter in your reading list, it always comes in three parts. First, you&#8217;ll see the <strong>authors of the chapter<\/strong> and the <strong>chapter title<\/strong>. After that, you&#8217;ll find the <strong>editors of the book<\/strong> and the <strong>book title<\/strong>. And finally, there are the <strong>page numbers<\/strong> of the book chapter, the publisher, and where it was published. Now, when it comes to book chapters and journal articles, keep an eye on what comes after &#8222;In:&#8220; If you see editors mentioned after that, it&#8217;s likely a book chapter. If there&#8217;s a title, you&#8217;re probably dealing with a journal article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-twentytwentyone-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/library.wu.ac.at\/bib\/fit4research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/book-chapter_new-1024x259.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the second entry in the reading list (by Pedersen and Bjartmarz).

Journal article<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Details of journal articles typically include the following components: the <strong>journal&#8217;s title<\/strong>, the <strong>volume<\/strong>, the <strong>issue number<\/strong> of the journal, and the <strong>page numbers<\/strong> of the article. However, references to journal articles do not include information about the publisher, place of publication, or editors of the journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-twentytwentyone-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/library.wu.ac.at\/bib\/fit4research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/journal-article_new-1024x231.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the third entry in the reading list (by Alvesson and Sandberg).
