The protection of copyright mainly includes the basic principles of copyright, the subject protection of copyright, the object protection of copyright, the content of copyright protection, the duration of copyright protection and the relevant legal responsibilities of infringement.
What's the difference between a book and a paper?
Different lengths. The length of the paper is generally short, from thousands of words to tens of thousands of words; There are many words in the works, generally between 40,000 and 50,000 words, but there are also works of about 200,000 words.
There are different ways to publish publicly. Papers need to be published in journals as articles, that is, papers are published; Works are usually published in the form of books in publishing houses, that is, works are published.
Different academic values. The academic value of publishing a paper is not as high as that of publishing a book, so many authors will choose to publish a book instead of a paper.
Is the work a book or a paper?
A work can be called a book or a paper, depending on the publishing method and requirements. Generally speaking, a work refers to a working version of a paper, which can be published by a publishing house and called a book; What is published in a journal is called a paper. Works can be published independently, or you can apply for ISBN independently.
When evaluating professional titles, the evaluation criteria of works and papers are different. However, there is a connection between the two. Books are printed on paper, so we can't say that books are paper. Many times, we need to treat books and papers as independent individuals.
1, let's start with self-funded publishing.
Self-funded publishing is a very popular and widely used publishing method at present. The reason is that the threshold is low, and more and more authors have the opportunity to publish their works publicly. But at the same time, it is unlikely that the author will make money by publishing and selling at his own expense. Generally speaking, books with little market potential or small audience, such as titles, scientific research achievements, small-batch publications, etc., are suitable for self-funded publication.
2. Let's talk about public publishing.
Publicly-funded publishing is a regular publishing method of publishing houses, which is only suitable for works with good market prospects, and the threshold is very high, which leads to the fact that most works cannot be published at public expense. Of course, the author's popularity and influence also add points, which will make the book more attractive to publishers.
In the process of publishing works at public expense, costs will also be involved, but this cost will be borne by the publishing house. Of course, the risk of losing money is also small, and you can earn it back by issuing and selling works. At the same time, the author will also receive copyright fees.
