Abstract
Writing a journal article is different from writing a book. After reviewing the literature and describing methods, there is only limited space in an article for saying something fresh. By contrast, a book provides ample space for dealing with both context and concepts. This article illustrates the difference from the author's own experience of publishing both books and peer-reviewed articles.
