Use book metrics to measure the reach and impact of your scholarly monographs.
Book and book chapter metrics include traditional citation metrics, along with library holdings, book reviews and other esteem measures.
Citations for books and book chapters can be more difficult to find than article and journal metrics, since Scopus and Web of Science are not comprehensive in their coverage and don't consistently index book chapters.
