Digital publishing is a wonderful add-on for an author who loves well made printed books - the cover, the binding, the paper, the layout - _and_ who loves to share: with open access. As there are several books to follow I store a personal checklist "Making an ebook" in my blog to have the checklist close at hand. Perhaps it is also useful for you.
Since 2011 I blog, and recently I started with the publication of open access ebooks, the youngest is
Social Informatics Experience:
Learning about people and computers
ISBN 978-3-947287-14-7
Weidenborn Verlag 2023
This is the first book that is just an ebook. The others so far and some more to follow are the ebook publication of existing printed books (see blog 09 March 2023 "Open Access eBooks leicht gemacht mit LaTeX und der DNB").

It is always lifting the mood of an author to read a message like this

Article: Streamlining Qualitative Research Methods for Medical Informatics-A Methodological Approach

ResearchGate is a platform for scientists. They offer their work, enter dialogues and discussions and sometimes find new partners in research and devleopment (R&D) or a new project or job.
Of course as a freelance author, scientist and consultant and coach I sometimes think: oh, if each read would give one Euro to the author, what for a wonderful add-on this would be.
Anyway: sharing is, what I like - or as is attributed to Bernard Moitessier: passing forward. So I proceed.
