Publishing
Scholarly and public communication: editorial standards, open access and the future of the book.
Overview
Scope of the domain
The Publishing domain examines how knowledge reaches readers, from journals and monographs to newspapers, ebooks, audiobooks and platforms. Research covers editorial integrity, peer review, open access, self-publishing ecosystems and the economics of academic publishing in the Global South.
The domain is informed by long practice: journal editing, newspaper opinion writing since the mid-2000s, and dozens of books published through independent channels. It supports the KBA13 Academy Publishing service and the School of Publishing & Scientific Communication.
