Meet The Advisers
What big issues do you see publishers thinking and talking about these days?
These are hectic times indeed for everyone in publishing. What you worry about depends, of course, on your role and your sector. In STM, "open access" is shifting the publishing paradigm away from subscriptions and toward author services; this is creating need for a wide range of web-based processes that deliver efficiencies and scale. The newspaper business continues to confront the challenges of monetization, and is looking more closely than ever before to licensing for growth opportunities. As for books, the passage from print to digital has meant a proliferation of new forms and a hunger for new content; moving forward, publishers expect to create value in the innovative application of re-use and republication.
