content types[edit]

Types of publication can also be distinguished by content:

 Brochure: an informative document made for advertising products or services,

usually in the form of a pamphlet or leaflet.
 Tract: a religious or political argument written by one person and designed to be
distributed free, usually in the form of a booklet or pamphlet, but sometimes longer.
 Monograph: a long research publication written by one person.

Unpublished works[edit]
A work that has not undergone publication, and thus is not generally available to the public,
or for citation in scholarly or legal contexts, is called an unpublished work. In some cases
unpublished works are widely cited, or circulated via informal means. [7] An author who has
not yet published a work may also be referred to as being unpublished.
The status of being unpublished has specific significance in the legal context, where it may
refer to the non-publication of legal opinions in the United States
