Developments in vanity presses, electronic publishing and social media have led to outstanding growth in the publishing industry. Eighty percent of people believe they have a book in them and the opportunities provided by new technologies are responding to their needs. This raises important questions: What effect will these developments have on the industry? In this environment, is quality control feasible? How will potential readers find their treasure? Will book publishing remain a cost-effective activity? We will examine the publishing industry looking for the answers to these questions and may just find that things are not as bleak as we initially thought. 相似文献

Technology today more than ever has a disruptive impact on publishing. The Internet, printing-on-demand and the e-book are
the main drivers of change, impacting all aspects of the publishing value chain—from the way books are published (authors
can go direct to the reader), distributed (electronic marketplaces), sold (e-tailers) and read (electronic books). The author
examines the context of the publishing industry in which these changes are occurring, describes the main drivers and impacts
of these changes and illustrates them with an example from the information publishing industry.
This paper is based on a presentation made during the conference ‘Blinded by the E-Light’ sponsored by Vista Computer Services
(www.vistacomp.com) on June 15, 2000 in New York, NY. 相似文献

Conclusion Freelancers provide unique resources for publishers. Because of their special expertise, unique viewpoints, and even geographical
location, they provide publishers with customized materials in disciplines and locations where the expense of full-time writers
would not be justifiable. They will continue to be an important factor in the publishing industry.
Publishers will continue to write contracts that allow them to republish articles in all known and future formats. Problems
still exist with articles published before 1995. Publishers will have to decide how they will respond to Tasini, whether that means some version of the PRC or deleting articles. It is hoped that a final agreement between authors and
publishers, according to the decision of the Supreme Court, will result in minimum inconvenience to the research public.
New technology presents many challenges, as well as many opportunities, for freelance writers. As technology evolves, copyright
law must ensure that writers’ incentives to create are nurtured and that they are fairly compensated for their work. Authors
whose work creates value should share in the revenue and opportunities created by those technologies. 相似文献

With the continuous progress of technology, the publishing industry is in the important period of accelerating transformation and upgrading, integration of traditional media and developing new media. We have to face that the traditional book market has been strongly impacted by the e-commerce, on the other hand also respond to the new technology to bring the needs of the reader changes to the publishing process. Opportunities and challenges coexist. In this tide, Winshare based on years of traditional publishing and book distribution, is rapidly advancing and upgrading the digital publishing transformation. This article will focus on the four aspects of the integration of technology and publishing industry development, from the market environment, new technologies to promote industry changes, to meet the new needs of consumption, and the changing Winshare practice. 相似文献

Publishing belongs to the information content industry in essence, where “the content is the king, the brand brings success”.
Whether the content of the publication is appealing, accessible, attractive and influential depends on its cultural content.
That is why we pay special attention to the research on cultural quality in relation to online publishing technology and information
systems transmission. This article presents an in-depth research on this issue from three aspects: why should the research
on cultural quality be emphasized; how to understand culture and cultural quality; what are the principles and conditions
to form the cultural quality. 相似文献

This article argues that the trend towards larger and larger publishing conglomerates is happening in parallel with apparently paradoxical changes in attitudes and approaches towards work and the organization of work. These changes, include for example remote working and the increasingly powerful potential of ‘outsourcing’. Looking at a publishing environment now populated mainly by very large and very small companies, the article suggests a symbiotic relationship between these giants and pygmies. It then looks at major characteristics of small publishers and how such companies can exploit the advantages of smallness to survive and succeed. The specific case of IP Publishing Ltd is used to illustrate some options for small publishers, including their opportunity to operate as ‘virtual’ companies. Finally, the article suggests that small companies can be useful to large corporations as indicators of change. 相似文献

The forces for change in the 600 hundred-year history of book publishing have never been more powerful and fundamental than
in 2011. Barely 12 months ago, what publishers viewed as “innovation” was the creation of digitized versions of physical books
to be ‘consumed’ on e-reading devices. As 2011 begins, that change is largely regarded as accepted business practice, and
the edge of “innovation” is moving in more complex directions. Publishing finds itself in the midst of a ‘phase shift’ from
the scarcity model of print to a complex, new world of digital abundance. The dimensions of change, moreover, its speed, and
its extent are still unknown. While book publishing begins with the creative work of authors, digital technologies are turning
the business models inside out. Among the forces for change acting on book publishing, this article examines several phenomena
that are working their way in from the edge to the center of the industry, including complex interwoven considerations around
container, context, and customer. 相似文献

Who are the independent editors,how did they reach their role and what are their associated job satisfactions?

下载免费PDF全文 This paper presents new evidence on the world of the independent editor in the publishing industry, analysing their demographic background, education and training, working practices, links with professional organizations, motivations for ‘going it alone‘, and job satisfaction. The results help contribute to the understanding of this important and growing segment of the publishing industry, challenge some of the commonly held beliefs about their role in the industry and set these within the broader context of changes in work organization in publishing. Contrary to the assumption that self‐publishing largely takes place without the involvement of an editor, research into the processes of self‐publishing (previously published in this journal) found that editors (and other providers of publishing services) were in fact often involved. The results are significant for the traditional publishing industry, the users of independent editorial services, and the editors themselves. 相似文献

In order to determine the potential of alternative technologies in social studies education, we must understand the goals
of such education, the capabilities of the technologies, and teachers’ and students’ responses to new technologies. The author
suggests that the new technologies can contribute to the goals of learning about the past, learning about democratic life
and institutions, and making students knowledgeable as consumers and producers of information. One major obstacle is a lack
of time and money for teachers to experiment with the technologies.
Stephen T. Kerr is professor of education in the College of Education at the University of Washington. His research focuses
on the application of new technologies in schools and other educational environments, and particularly on the ways in which
technology affects the social structure (roles and expectations, instructional patterns, organization) of those institutions.
He has done work on human-computer interaction, as well as on how new communication technologies have changed the educational
system of the former USSR. 相似文献

This article discusses the emergence of academic publishing in a fast‐growing transition economy, Vietnam, where the race has heated up to publish in international journals, preferably with a high impact factor, and to accelerate the indexing of domestic journals. Within the fields of SSH alone, the publication output grew by 17% a year in the 2008–2018 period, encouraged by government policies and financial incentives for researchers. This review demonstrates an environment where there is sufficient financial growth to support increased R&D but limited skills and knowledge of how to increase quality publication output, either within national or international journals. The article highlights the drivers of increasing scientific publication output, as well as the traps and pitfalls that follow this competition. It suggests that there are opportunities for publishers and other organizations to improve ethical and practical publishing issues and to develop co‐publishing agreements that will increase the visibility of the country in international academia. The article indicates the harsh reality of pursuing higher publishing standards in academia, a world that has long been dominated by authors and publishers from industrialized countries. 相似文献

The combination of Japan’s large, prosperous population and its thriving consumer electronics industry appears to the outside
world to be an ideal environment for eBook adoption. In fact, despite cross industry initiatives that date back to 2003, widespread
digitization of books is limited to Japanese comics (manga). This article will explain the origins of the Japanese eBook market,
its current state and the looming entry of Amazon, Apple and Google. Finally, this article will explore the two very different
paths that the Japanese publishing industry may take over the next 5 years. 相似文献

In the Greek publishing industry, tradition and the desire for innovation go hand in hand. The industry is influenced by European
developments in publishing and bookselling in terms of book promotion methods, the role of chain bookstores and the impact
of information technology. Greece shares the features of other small book markets in Europe, whilst retaining the individuality
defined by the Greek language and the country’s cultural and social conditions. This article provides an overview of the publishing
industry in Greece through a review of the relevant literature and the available statistics. This work also focuses on the
need to develop publishing skills through publishing education and continuous professional development. 相似文献

This paper explores the topic of electronic books (e-books) and the effect that these digital devices and other new technologies
has on the publishing industry. Contemporary society often claims that the publishing industry is dying and that the innovation
of the e-book will eventually sentence the printed book to death. But this study will show that such is not the case. While
it is true that the world is undergoing a digital revolution, publishers today have not been left in the dust, because these
firms have embraced electronic publishing (e-publishing). The invention of e-books opens a world of opportunities and since
the e-book market is still in its growth stage, there is much work left to be done. As with any new venture, the industry
faces certain challenges, such as piracy, but with tools like encryption, digital asset management (DAM), digital rights management
(DRM), and digital object identifiers (DOI), publishers are well on the way to a solution. While it is safe to say that the
digital revolution has forever changed the face of publishing, e-books could actually revitalize the industry. No one knows
what the future of e-publishing will hold, but developments affect publishing houses, authors, and consumers alike. And while
the ultimate fate of the printed book is yet unknown, for now, it is here to stay. 相似文献

Digital publishing has been considered as a panacea to bridge the gaps between different sized publishing companies: allowing small, independent companies to compete on an equal footing with cross-media conglomerates. However, this research discovered that Scottish publishers are not capitalising on new technology and new platforms for dissemination: this is detrimental to the authors they represent. The empirical research found that the majority of Scottish publishers are not fostering intellectual property rights (IPR) effectively across international markets and new media: The failure to do this means that the operational practices of the Scottish publishing industry are not in harmony with the burgeoning digital publishing environment. If Scottish publishers continue with current practices it will become increasingly difficult for them to compete in the national and international publishing environment. This study concludes that only by better training and knowledge exchange, in matters of rights exploitation and digital publishing, can Scottish publishers compete in the international arena and contribute to, and benefit financially from, the knowledge economy. 相似文献

Print academic journals are dead. As we watch large metropolitan newspapers fail (as are many small town newspapers), the
same economic forces are driving online scholarly publishing. This phenomenon is more than print journals going online. The
options available with new low-cost online publishing software and the rise in the ability to use ratings from user generated
content suggest more near-term changes are likely. Many of the outcomes are unsettled: the economics of online publishing;
the standards for peer review, rank, and tenure; and the very nature of scholarly publishing itself. What is certain, however,
is that the economics of online academic publishing—modeled via Anderson’s Long Tail Theory—will make it possible to provide
greater access, more collaboration, and, ultimately, improved research and researchers. Universities acting as publishing
centers with their e-reserves will be expected to change their faculty evaluations, providing greater academic rewards for those who act as editors,
reviewers, and proofreaders within this new born-online and only-online world. 相似文献
