Essential for publishing staff, editors, editorial boards, boards of directors, society leadership, and anyone else looking for an in-depth review of the scholarly journals market today – and insight into where it is going in the future.
Most industry trends reports are superficial at best, leaving the reader wondering why they bothered to read the report never mind paid money for it. That is why we developed this report. We are regularly asked to discuss industry trends with organizational leadership. As there was no good resource to provide organizations as a pre-read or take-away document, we decided to write one.
This comprehensive report from C&E provides our analysis of the scholarly journals landscape. Taking both a historic perspective (how did we get here?) and a forward-looking view (where are we going?), we identify and explain the most important trends and drivers shaping the market.
Plentiful visuals (35 figures and tables) translate complex data into market insights.
Key topics addressed include:
- How are research funder policies and open access changing the financial and editorial strategies of different types of publishers, and on what timeline?
- How are open access models driving industry consolidation?
- What strategies are different publishers adopting in response to recent trends and how successful have they been?
- What new business models should you be aware of?
- How is the role of preprints evolving?
- How is the focus on author experience reshaping marketing strategy?
- How is artificial intelligence impacting the market?
Simple, clear language and explanations of industry lingo allow this report to serve as both an up-to-the-moment view of current trends and a primer for bringing those new to the industry up to speed.
Your purchase also includes an executive summary slide deck that can be used to communicate industry trends and implications for publishing programs to society leadership, boards of directors, and editorial boards.
The organizational license allows everyone at your organization to access and use the report. It is the perfect pre-read for your next editorial board meeting or strategic retreat.
