The self-publishing process, which embraces the use of eBooks and print-on-demand technology, has become an increasingly popular tool for academics looking to advertise their research. It allows them to remain in control of their book’s content, and to share their findings with the world quickly while they are still fresh. Amazon KDP, even allows an author to re-edit a book without limits; a significant plus if you want to remain at the cutting edge of your field.
