專著(英語:monograph)指專家之文字作品(與參考書相對)[1]或對單一學科或一個學科的某方面進行的展示。專著一般由單一作者(或藝術家)完成,並且通常是用於探討學術內容。

在圖書館分類中,「專著」一詞用於與定期刊物(如雜誌學術期刊報紙)相對,故有更加廣泛的含義。並非以序列方式出版的單書或有限卷的書都可稱為專著。[2]在此語境下,小說也被稱為專著。

學術專著 编辑

英語單詞 "monograph" 來源於拉丁語 "monographia",而後者又來源於希臘語。[3]英文中,"mono-" 指「單一」,而 "-graph" 指「著作」。[4]學術專著的主要目的是向有需要的讀者可靠地展示研究內容,這使之與課本不同,後者的主要目的是論述某個領域的知識狀況。因此,在許多學術領域,出版專著通常被認為對職業發展至關重要。專供其他研究人員使用,並且主要是由圖書館購買的,故其通常以短冊形式單獨出版。[5]

在英國和美國,出版者通常都假定,學術專著的讀者不僅具有專門知識或豐富經驗,而且還要對此著作的主體有專業上的興趣。但具體用於區分學術專著及貿易著作英语Trade magazine的標準,則依出版社而異。[6]

生物學 编辑

生物分類學中,專著指對某個分类阶元進行全面描述的著作。專著通常回顧一組已知物種,並且在其中加入新發現的相關物種,並收集和綜合有關該組物種的生態聯繫、地理分佈和形態變異的可用信息。

生物分類學中的第一部專著為羅伯特·莫里森英语Robert Morison在1627年寫成的 Plantarum Umbelliferarum Distributio Nova[註 1],莫里森在其中討論了伞形科植物。[7]

藝術家專著 编辑

以「藝術家專著」[註 2]為名出版的書籍是對單一藝術家的研究,而非對藝術學科廣泛的綜述。

In United States Food and Drug Administration regulation 编辑

In the context of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation, monographs represent published standards by which the use of one or more substances is automatically authorized. For example, the following is an excerpt from the Federal Register: "The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule in the form of a final monograph establishing conditions under which over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen drug products are generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded as part of FDA's ongoing review of OTC drug products."[8] Such usage has given rise to the use of the word monograph as a verb, as in "this substance has been monographed by the FDA".
