The purpose of this chapter is to examine the rules formulating scholarly books (monographs) in the Czech Republic and the Czech academic world in general. Yet there is analysed, how formal rules are able to influence the quality and quantity of the scholarly books production. Moreover, formal regulation improvements are properly proposed. The paper aims to target these issues, by means of a content legal analysis of the national rules of the Czech Republic defining scholarly books. This paper also analyses how externalities—formal legal and Research Funding Organisations (RFOs) regulation of the scholarly books have an impact on knowledge production presented by the above-mentioned publication “genre” for Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) in the Czech Republic. The design of the formal (legal) definition of a “scholarly book” based on the analysis is proposed as well.
This study offers a novel perspective on how carefully designed formal rules regulate the knowledgeable production via scholarly book. Therefore, book chapters can improve scientific outcomes. In addition, it also shows how the codified rules can efficiently contribute to research results dissemination with respect to various scientific disciplines that are at stake. These dissemination practices are usually based on a traditional way of scientific practices rooted at the end of the eighteenth century.
