| Mar 9, 2017 at 8:08 | comment | added | David Roberts | Doron Zeilberger self-published a result that was rather modular and asked lots of people he knew to each verify one aspect of it, in lieu of ordinary refereeing. However, you have to know a bunch of well-respected people who would be willing to play along for this to work. | |
| Mar 6, 2017 at 3:28 | comment | added | Bob Brown | Publishers actually pay reviewers to review textbooks. I think what OP wants to know is how to get a book reviewed in that way when it will be self-published, i.e. when there is no money, and no publisher, to pay reviewers. | |

| Jun 3, 2014 at 12:16 | comment | added | Marc van Dongen | @PiotrMigdal Many questions in this form are ``howtos:'' what to wear for interview, how much time shouold I spent on essay marking, .... In that sense, this question is no exception. To be honest, I find it difficult to rephrase it. | |
| Jun 2, 2014 at 19:05 | comment | added | Piotr Migdal | @MarcvanDongen Could you rephrase the question. SE is not for "sharing your experiences, insights, and opinions" but for answerable questions. (I.e. please put the actual question also in the content.) | |

| Aug 8, 2012 at 6:53 | comment | added | Marc van Dongen | @DavidKetcheson I mean that the book gets a proper critical review like a journal article would be. Publising with a publisher may mean that they organise independent critical peer reviewers. With self-publishing this is more difficult as the writer (1) would have to contact the reviewers directly, or (2) would have to ask somebody else to arrange the reviewers. Neither case is ideal because it involves somebody that was contacted by the writer. | |
| Aug 8, 2012 at 6:41 | comment | added | David Ketcheson | What exactly do you mean by peer-review? That someone writes a public review of the book, or that it is refereed like a journal article would be? | |
| Aug 8, 2012 at 5:27 | comment | added | Jeromy Anglim | @David There is certainly discussion of publishing using various more open models (e.g., author retaining copyright; creative commons licences; making pdf available online) where the cost of greater openness (and thus less revenue) is reduced publisher resources. Thus, I think this question also relates to similar discussions about making a book freely available online: academia.stackexchange.com/q/1628/62 | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 22:33 | comment | added | Marc van Dongen | @DavidKetcheson Thanks for that. What I meant with example was a book that was self-published as well as peer-reviewed. | |

| Aug 7, 2012 at 8:52 | comment | added | Marc van Dongen | I am not aware of any examples. Perhaps I should have been clearer in my question. I'm not asking about papers but about books. I'll rephrase my question. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 8:05 | comment | added | David Ketcheson | Who self-publishes? Can you point to some examples? | |
