I've seen several references to some "short monograph on subject X". But how short is that? Is there a standard length to use as a reference?

I realize that this depends on page size and font, so I guess answers should reference what kind of layout is used.

I think the shortest monograph (as in the Stanford Briefs or Palgrave Pivot series) would be about 20,000 words.

Monograph lengths are generally not about number of pages, but about word counts. In the humanities you will find monographs ranging from 5000-100,000 (and even longer) in length. There is no standard length for monographs unless you are writing for a specific publisher/publication which specifies length.
