In this chapter, we focus on the specialists who have helped to improve the\nconditions for book assessments in research evaluation exercises, with\nempirically based data and insights supporting their greater integration. Our\nreview highlights the research carried out by four types of expert communities,\nreferred to as the monitors, the subject classifiers, the indexers and the\nindicator constructionists. Many challenges lie ahead for scholars affiliated\nwith these communities, particularly the latter three. By acknowledging their\nunique, yet interrelated roles, we show where the greatest potential is for\nboth quantitative and qualitative indicator advancements in book-inclusive\nevaluation systems.\n
