Book/anthology/dissertation/report
A book/anthology/dissertation/report is a work that is only published once or republished in new editions. The author of a monograph has written the entire text. If the author has only written part of the text, the publication should instead be registered under either contributions to an anthology or article in a journal. General category RESEARCHDoctoral dissertation A dissertation must have been defended and discussed by the faculty council the year it is registered. It is not enough that a dissertation has been submitted for assessment, accepted for defence or been defended. PhD dissertation Concludes a PhD degree programme. The dissertation must be defended and approved by an expert committee before it can be approved as a publication. Often one or more chapters of a dissertation are published independently. Other publications relating to the dissertation are registered independently. Scientific book/anthology
Scientific report A report is an academic, written work that explains one or more specific matter or area, specified before the report was written. Reports typically contain results of research work.

A contribution to a book/anthology or report is part of a larger context where several independent contributions make up a larger body of work.
