This study investigates the current status and attitudes towards academic e-book publishing by mainland Chinese academic publishers through an online survey. This study collected survey data from 49 authoritative academic publishers in China, focusing on their e-book sales profiles and their perceptions of how e-book sales affect publishers and libraries. The data reveals that China's academic e-book industry is still at an early development stage and has a relatively small market. The findings show significant differences in the willingness and attitudes towards e-book publishing between SSH publishers and STEM publishers, and also demonstrate that the enhancement of the demand for e-books by academic libraries promotes the process of the digital transformation of academic publishers. This study then argues that Chinese academic publishers need to further improve the quality of academic e-books, accelerate the transition from academic content providers to academic content service providers, and strengthen their cooperation with stakeholders. 相似文献

This paper uses time series data on UK book sales to establish what correlation exists between the national income of a country and its sales of books. This is tested by comparing series data in real terms for GDP per capita and for various data series for the UK market, including sales invoiced by publishers and point of sale data on consumer purchasing. The first period, from 1985 to 1999, shows a strong relationship between total sales and GDP per capita. In the second period, from 2001 to 2015, the link appears to disappear when we examine invoiced sales from publishers, even before the impact of the 2008 crisis. This is also including the growth of digital sales towards the end of the period. The direct consumer data shows sales tracking GDP until the onset of the financial crisis; thereafter the only trade sector to have kept pace with GDP is children’s, and this contrasts with the areas of adult fiction and non-fiction. Have we therefore seen a structural shift in the book market? If we have passed peak book, what has brought about this uncoupling of book sales from economic growth? Factors are considered including changes in retail, competition from other media, and a prioritization of experience over the accumulation of stuff. 相似文献

- The new edition of Selling Rights by Lynette Owen is an opportunity to pause and take stock of the changes and challenges for rights people at the turn of the decade.
- Revenues accruing to UK publishers from rights sales has increased by over 22% in the past 5 years.
- The recent and controversial European Union Copyright Directive and Brexit will undoubtedly impact selling rights, but as yet, we do not know what that impact will be.
- Technology plays a role both in changing the kinds of rights being licensed and in helping the management of rights sales to be carried out more efficiently.
- It is vital that rights metadata is developed and implemented to ensure improved efficiency in rights management.
- Rights Management Practice will need to evolve in response to the climate emergency.

Brazil is a huge country with at least 100 million readers with a total population of 200 million. Is this a good number for you? The article describes the developments of the Brazilian book market and publishing industry. Sales in 2009 were an estimated $2.5 billion for more than 228 million copies of books sold. But a country this big, as it is almost 50% of entire South America, confronts several major challenges including a real lack of bookstores. But one of the channels that is growing every year are the door-to-door sales, it has grown from 5% of all sales in 2006 to 17% in 2009. In a country this big, the digital or eBooks may also be a very good strategy to get to more readers, but it is still a small market in Brazil. The interesting news is that publishers are working on it and looking for solutions and ways to act on this new area of digital and online publishing. 相似文献

The K-12 instructional materials market, including textbooks, supplemental materials, and digital resources, totaled $16.4
billion in sales in the 2009–2010 school year. It is projected that sales in 2010–2011 will be $16.4
billion in sales in the 2009–2010 school year. It is projected that sales in 2010–2011 will be 17.3 billion, a 5.3% year-to-year
increase. There has been a slow down in this market, starting in 2006–2007 and intensifying in 2008–2009, yet the K-12 school
market continues to grow at a steady pace despite fluctuations in the U.S. economy. The fundamental fact that student enrollment
and per pupil expenditures continue to increase assures us that the K-12 market continues to grow, but it also reinforces
the fact that recent years were not banner years for educational publishers. Looking at sales of particular categories of
educational products, it is easy to see that the technology-related resources led the pack in a generally difficult sales
year in 2009. Big jumps were recorded in terms of sales of interactive whiteboards (+33.98%), online/digital content (+19.0%),
and learning management or student information systems (+11.3%) and, to a lesser extent, computing/mobile devices (+3.0%),
and instructional software (+1.2%). Looked at another way, if all of the digital product applications are grouped together,
this group was up a strong 11.3% in 2009, while the various types of books used by students, as a group, was down 12.7%. These
results make it evident that digital resources have not only gained traction in the K-12 school market, they are starting
to dominate. In fact, 2009 may be the first year that it became necessary for a company to be heavily invested in digital
content/delivery in order to achieve sales success in the non-textbook instructional materials market segment. 相似文献

Despite the dominance of the English language, publishers in the United States had export sales in 1987 of less than 6 percent
of their total sales. Adrian Higham analyzes the major overseas markets for U.S. books and suggests ways for publishers to
improve their export sales to each. The key to higher sales, he argues, is acquiring “insider status” in each market. Although
he is convinced that publishers can do better, he reminds us that there is no simple solution.
Adrian Higham brings to his consultancy an extensive background in international publishing. Following his wide career with
Longman he served as managing director of John Wiley & Sons’ Company in the United Kingdom and subsequently as senior vice
president and general manager of the International Group of John Wiley & Sons in New York. 相似文献

In France, book information disseminated on television reaches large numbers of potential purchasers and increases sales of
the books featured, despite a ban on advertising. There is a clear relationship between television appearances and bestsellerdom.
The ability of television to influence sales affects the behavior of book purchasers (who focus on a small number of rapidly
changing titles), publishers (who devote advertising and production budgets to mediagenic titles), and book-sellers (who devote
more shelf space to titles promoted on television). This article analyzes the impact of television on the book market and
on trends in production and editorial decision making.

How the role of the independent editor is changing in relation to traditional and self‐publishing 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 This paper reports on a survey of editors undertaken during 2013. The survey asked about lifestyle and work, and in particular how these are changing with the growth of self‐publishing authors. This article reports on the changing opportunities for editorial work and the practices of independent editors, and how their working routines have changed over the past three years. It reveals a shift from working for traditional publishers towards working for new clients, including self‐publishing authors; relationships with traditional publishers are strained for a variety of reasons, and increasing satisfaction levels are discernible in relationships with experienced self‐publishers. The paper considers the consequences of editors' changing patterns of work and client base, and likely future outcomes. Areas for further close monitoring and research are suggested. 相似文献

For publishers and librarians to work well together it will help for publishers have a good idea of the circumstances and challenges currently facing libraries. This includes but is not limited to budget; libraries also struggle with a complex technology environment, quickly changing licensing, pricing and content options, and incomplete adoption of standards by publishers and software vendors. This paper is a short introduction to these issues and includes a brief overview of what publishers can do to help librarians, and what librarians can do to help publishers. 相似文献

What future roles will publishers need to build on and develop given changes driven by the online system for the publication of research‐based information? By reviewing some of the key issues currently faced by publishers online, this article is an attempt to provide a constructive framework for working through both immediate tactical pressures and priorities, and longer‐term plans on product refinement and market needs. The areas of publishing affected by online availability are identified and contrasted with those that are not. Success rests on the ability of publishers to listen to and observe online users, to be open to the new opportunities that arise, and to be willing to adapt publications to provide value to the research community and libraries by making full and sound use of online as it becomes the dominant route for accessing research information. 相似文献

Many book publishers focus on selling books through chain and independent bookstores, and bookstores online. Consequently, they miss an enormous opportunity to increase unit sales and profitable revenue. Retail purchasing practices are similar to those of trade buyers, making the transition to this new segment uncomplicated. 相似文献

This article presents an analysis of key trends affecting the academic publishing industry. It reviews funding and sales, scholarly collaboration networks, developments in OA, and monograph publishing. These key areas were identified in an earlier article that asked whether academic publishing was evolving or going through a revolution. The review of funding and sales presented here shows a mixed market with growth being challenged as library funds and purchase choices affect expenditure. Scholarly collaboration networks were previously identified as a major threat to traditional publishing, and a review of this area demonstrates that greater sharing of content is empowering librarians and academics to take a stronger stand in publisher negotiations. OA continues to be debated, and a review of responses to Plan S (the most coordinated policy to date) demonstrates conflicting views within academia, funders, and publishers. OA has yet to revolutionize the existing business models. Similarly, monograph publishing remains slow to evolve, although there are increasing initiatives to adopt more open, and online, models. The conclusion of this review is that libraries are likely to be the key promoters of change in the publishing environment and are more influential than other players in forcing evolution. 相似文献

Lebanon’s publishing industry is mainly turned towards export to the Arab market; subsequently, the analysis of the Lebanese book production can provide a fair overview of the state of publishing in the Arab world. And the picture is far from bright; however resourceful and dynamic, Arab trade publishers cannot reach the sales figures one would expect in a region of more than 362 million people. A relatively low purchasing power and the lack of efficient distribution channels, in addition to piracy and censorship, are endemic problems they have to face on a daily basis, not only in marketing their books throughout the region, but also in dealing with foreign publishers and agents. Indeed for many of these, the Arab market remains incomprehensible and not transparent. However, it is only through apprehending its reality that they can adapt their level of expectations to it in order to achieve successful licensing deals and establish sound partnerships in the region. 相似文献

Higher education textbooks sales account for a significant portion of the overall book market. This study makes an important contribution to the extant literature by examining students’ purchase of original textbooks in a developing market, Vietnam. Notably, it seeks to investigate why students do not purchase original textbooks as well as the difference in purchase behavior between different groups of students. The findings reveal that some key obstacles to students’ purchase behavior include high prices, insufficient availability, low perceived value, and the emergence of pirated textbooks. Another notable finding is that senior students who are female tend to purchase more textbooks. In light of these findings, marketing strategies are suggested for publishers, bookstores and universities who aim to promote the sales and consumption of original textbooks. 相似文献

The digitization of journal content and its availability online has revolutionized journal publishing in recent years, resulting in both opportunities and challenges for traditional journal publishers. The explosion of data and the emergence of new players such as Google, new business models like Open Access, and new content consumers and producers, for example, China are significantly changing the face of journal publishing. It is not yet clear what the impact of these changes will be but by continuing to collaborate with our existing stakeholders and building partnerships with these newcomers, as well as by maintaining and promoting the quality of our content, we can ensure our future growth and success. 相似文献
