Ourcurrent Red Book consists of Chapters 1-3 (of the 4th Edition) and Chapters 5-15 (of the 3rd Edition). As we update these chapters, we will also update this table of contents and provide new links. We will no longer publish a separate Annual Update.
The One Piece manga is initially published as a serial in Shueisha's anthology magazine Weekly Shonen Jump. This magazine, as suggested by its title, releases a new issue with a new chapter of One Piece on a weekly basis. Accounting for its standard holiday breaks and Eiichiro Oda's personal hiatuses, approximately 45-48 chapters are published per year.
From 2012 on, digital versions of each tankōbon volume have been released through Shueisha's online apps, as well as a number of third-party sellers. These, unlike the standard physical releases, offer a fully-colored edition alongside the standard monochrome.[1]
Volume 50 has a different format of cover changes from the standard title, then picture synopsis, to a picture (of Nami), the title (that is surrounded in flames), and is then followed up with the pictures of Zoro, Luffy, and Brook. This change was likely done to commemorate the fiftieth volume of One Piece.
Each volume's title page (which reiterates the volume's title and number, as well as Eiichiro Oda's name) features a bonus illustration of one or more characters. For the first two volumes, these were original pen-and-ink drawings; Volumes 3 and on, however, simply reuse images from prior publications, most often covers Oda drew for recent issues of Shonen Jump.
In each volume after the first, the title page is followed by several pages collectively titled The Story of One Piece. These contain an overview of the series premise, a synopsis of the current storyline, and short profiles of all significant characters and groups. Depending on the story's complexity, they may also include features such as maps.
(Select characters are always profiled here, regardless of whether they actually appear in the volume. This was once unique to Shanks, but after the time-skip was extended to all of the Straw Hat Pirates as well.)
On irregular occasions, volumes may run a Storyboard Presentation (ネーム大公開, Nēmu dai-kōkai?) between chapters, showing Oda's rough layouts of select pages. These vary widely in resemblance to the finished, published pages; a few even depict scenes or compositions that were excluded entirely.
From Volume 5 on, every volume has included a gallery of fan-art submissions, "hosted" by Usopp. This feature is usually placed at the very end of the volume, but may occasionally be used to intersperse chapters in place of the SBS.
Rarely, a filler page reprinting a single small panel will be inserted to maintain proper recto and verso alignments and keep double-page spreads intact. From Volume 7 on, these have traditionally been used to magnify Pandaman cameos from the preceding chapter.
VIZ Media's English-translated volumes, currently published under the Shonen Jump Manga line, retain most of the Japanese volumes' composition and formatting, differing in only a few aspects:
(VIZ's digital releases of One Piece, notably, predate Shueisha's, with volume releases beginning in 2010[3] and individual chapter releases beginning in 2012.[4] Currently, VIZ offers all chapters of the manga as part of the "digital vault" linked to its Shonen Jump app, with the first and two most recent available for free and the rest for subscription.)

I have been invited to write a book chapter in an edited volume, relating to my field of work. I have a paper ready that I have not published and was planning to submit it soon. So, I am wondering is it worth to use that article for the book chapter, as both are on the same topic, or is it in a sense a waste of a journal paper, as book chapters might not be seen to have the same academic value? What should I do? Should I, instead, send the ready paper to a journal for a review and write a book chapter, based on a couple papers I have published, for instance?
Generally speaking, where does a book chapter stand? Is it something between a conference paper and a full-fledged journal article? Or, does does it have the same value as either of the above-mentioned publication types, in your opinion?
Like a lot of things in academia, I think this will heavily depend on what discipline you're in. In computer science for example, while there's nothing wrong with a book chapter, a paper at a conference or in a journal is typically more valuable.
Having said that, there's always myriad exceptions. Writing a whole book that everyone uses is much better than a few papers. Later in the career, book chapters perhaps gain value as they're a mark of respect and prestige (once you've already proven your research ability).
In my field a peer reviewed article counts for a lot more than a chapter in an edited book. That said, a published chapter in an edited book counts a lot more for job searches than a working/submitted/under review/under revision manuscript. Often edited books lead to a publication in press much quicker than a journal. I would definitely look into the time scale of the book chapter.
It may depend on the book. If the other chapters are being authored by big shots, then their prestige could rub off. On the other hand, if the other chapters are authored by less well-known people, then it might not be seen as that great. Another thing to consider: your university or department might weight impact factors in their assessment of your research quality, which means publishing in a good journal will be of the most benefit. In the end, the strength of the article itself will say a lot, independent of the publishing venue. If it becomes a classic in the field with lots of citations, then that's pretty good, no matter what.
