1.1 BOOKS AND 10URNALS The Parts ofa Book 1.4 1.4 Outline ofdivisions and parts ofa book. Books are traditionally organized Overview into three major divisions: the front matter (also called preliminary matter, or prelims), the text, and the back matter (or end matter). The 1.1 Books and journals as the core ofscholarly publishing. Printed-and-bound front matter presents information about a book's title, publisher, and books and journals and their electronic counterparts constitute the copyright; it acknowledges debts to the work of others; it provides a core ofscholarly publishing. Book-length works in particular-in their way to navigate the structure of the book; and it introduces the book breadth and variety, not to mention their long history-provide an over­ and sets its tone. The text proper comprises the narrative-including view ofthe anatomyofa scholarlyworkthat, inconjunctionwiththe dis­ arguments, data, illustrations, and so forth-often divided into chap­ cussion ofjournals (see 1.72-110), can be usefully applied to other types ters and other meaningful sections. The back matter presents sources ofpublished works. orsource notes, appendixes, and other types ofdocumentation support­ ing the text but outside its central focus or narrative. This section dis­ 1.2 Electronic publishing.

Most journals at Chi­ visions and their components, starting with the list below. Few books cago have implemented a simultaneous print and electronic publishing contain all these elements, and some books have components not on the model (see 1.72)-a model that has become the industry standard.
