How it's used
This term is strictly reserved for formal academic or scholarly contexts, carrying a weight of seriousness that makes it sound out of place in casual conversation. It specifically refers to works that involve research, analysis, or theoretical contributions rather than general books or creative literature. Using it in everyday speech can make the speaker sound overly pedantic or like they are reading from a formal report.
