Fred Kobrak 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1988,4(4):15-21
Fred Kobrak, who has spent much of his career marketing U.S. scholarly books abroad, puts his experience to use in viewing
the task of foreign publishers who wish to sell their products in the U.S. market. In so doing, he discusses changes in the
environment of scientific publishing and raises the interesting question of how one distinguishes between “domestic” and “foreign”
publishers. He suggests that “U.S.” publishers have much to learn from “foreign” competitors, and that competition can benefit
publishers, their authors, and their customers.
Fred Kobrak is a partner in Adrian Higham Associates, consultants, on the international publishing industry. He recently retired
from the presidency of Collier Macmillan International, New York, the international arm of Macmillan Publishing Company. Address

Photocopying of reading materials, especially from holdings in libraries is common practice among Malaysian university students.
It is unusual to find a student not making photocopies from books or journals. Photocopying machines are easily found in the
campus, especially in the libraries with full cooperation from the machine operators. This article will discuss the copyright
law in Malaysia with regard to photocopying practices, especially on the controversial term of “fair use” or “fair dealing”
as stated in the act. The second part relates to the main findings from a survey conducted in 2009 about photocopying among
university students, and the last part provide alternatives available to publishers on ways to control and to overcome this
problem. 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

Until 50 years ago the purpose of publishers in Australia was to act as distributors for overseas companies, mainly British.
From 1970 onwards a local publishing industry began to develop, taking advantage of the greatly increased investment by publishers
in distribution systems to service the “closed market.” In 1991 the “30-day rule” was introduced, leading to an increased
amount of local printing of overseas titles, and a growing number of rights purchases of overseas-published books. The pros
and cons of “separating out” Australian rights are addressed in this paper. 相似文献

Company blogs offer publishers a media platform to build online communities around issues of interest to customers and prospects.
Web 2.0 represents the fundamental shift from “old” marketing where publishers engaged in one-directional push messaging and
“new” marketing where customers and prospects are also creators of content and key messages in response to their individual
experiences. Whether companies decide to participate in the online conversation or not, they and their products are being
discussed. To maintain credibility and support their brands, publishers must engage their audiences online. Creating a company
blog as the centerpiece of a Social Media strategy can be a meaningful investment in a publisher’s longevity. 相似文献

This study investigated changes in the internationality of national publishers' journals for the period 1990–2013. The patterns of foreign and interregional authorship in papers and references of 4,199 journals from 3,529 publishers were analyzed. The results revealed that foreign authorship increased from 36% to 62% during the period, but interregional authorship only grew from 77% to 82%. The growth in internationality is not the same across disciplines and regions of the world. Agricultural sciences, psychiatry/psychology, and economics and business have the least number of foreign authors, while journals in space science, mathematics, and physics have the most. According to the number of both foreign‐authored papers and foreign‐authored citations, clinical medicine is one of the least international fields. Latin America and Middle East publishers have a greater tendency to publish papers from authors in their countries. In contrast, national publishers in North America have become considerably more international over time. Russia, China, and Brazil publish the least number of foreign authored‐papers in their journals, while Switzerland's journals publish the most. 相似文献

Much value is added by people who are not directly employed by publishers. Publishers are classic “virtual organizations.”
Their functions and the distributed nature of their performance are poorly supported by publishers’ information technology
infrastructure.

This paper focuses on a fresh and fair way to determine a ranking of science journals according to the “number of citations-to
and articles published,” data used by SCI Journal Citation Reports of ISI to determine journal ranking by “impact factor.”
Impact is considered a latent variable defined by a set of items (citations and articles published). The theoretical background
is Item Response Theory, which suggests that, if we can understand how each item in a set of items operates with an object,
then we can estimate a measure for the object. The Rasch model is the most common formulation of that theory. This technique
is here applied to the citations and articles published of 62 medical journals (objects) to provide a Rasch measure for these
journals which is compared with the current “impact factor” computation. 相似文献

In the last ten years, influential voices within and on the periphery of the record keeping community have succeeded in establishing
the preservation of “evidence” as the governing purpose of contemporary archival theory and methods development. Afterglow
offers a critique of the concept of evidence in archival discourse. Its main contention is that one can put records into evidence;
one cannot set out to put evidence into records. The argument rests on the following assertions: (1) current discussions of
evidence rest on a blindness to certain contradictions embedded in claims that record keeping principally involves evidence
keeping, or “evidence management”; (2) a politics of temporality, under which an interplay of disciplinary knowledge claims
and professional interest is discernible, helps to account for the contemporary rhetoric describing the relationship between
“record” and “evidence”, and (3) the late-twentieth century legal, political, and cultural climate, along with the technological
environment, explain the increasing prominence of “evidence” in these knowledge claims and professional ambitions. The essay
concludes with recommendations for addressing these issues.
Thanks go to Terry Cook, Visiting Professor in the Archival Studies Programme, Department of History, University of Manitoba,
and co-editor of this series of essays, for his close reading and detailed comments on this essay. Particularly invaluable
was his knowledge of historical and contemporary archival thinking on the notion of evidence. 相似文献

Analysis of the publications of the journals “Biblioteka” and “Nauchnye i tekhnicheskie biblioteki” helps to compare the value guidelines of modern library journals. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that
the first journal adheres to the values of the intellectuals, and the second óne adheres to the values of the intelligentsia. 相似文献

George Newnes became one of the most influential popular publishers of the age of New Journalism, and was probably Britian’s
first media magnate. He published a vast number and variety of journals in the period from 1881 until his death in 1910, editing
some of these, but leaving an impression upon all of them. Newnes’s periodicals included Tit-Bits (1881), Strand Magazine
(1891), The Million (1892), Westminster Gazette (1893), Country Life (1897), The Ladies Field (1898), Wide World Magazine
(1898), The Captain (1899), and C.B. Fry’s Magazine (1904). Newnes was an innovator, and a publishing entrepreneur. This paper
will focus on the entrepreneurial aspects of Newnes’s publishing ventures and the novel technological and promotional techniques
pioneered by him. The analysis will focus upon such techniques as promotional schenesm advertising, production and illustration,
the employment and promotion of popular authors, editors and illustrators, publicity, market segmentation, and financing.
The concluding section consists of an investigation into some of the rhetoric that has been applied to Newnes’s publishing
career, and the way in which, as publishing entrepreneur and media magnate, Newnes’s successes have been cast within a continuing
debate over popular literature, New Journalism and the commercialization of the popular press in the late-nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries.

A new digital distribution infrastructure is being created to parallel the structure in the physical world by which content
is stored, distributed, and invoiced. Like in the physical world, book publishing will need fewer points of distribution than
it has points of creation: there will be “distributors” handling the digital content of many publishers and some large publishers
will handle the digital content of smaller ones. This system is just now taking shape and this paper defines the terms and
enumerates some of the emerging players in this role.
This paper was first presented during the “Making Information Pay 2007” on May 10, 2007 organized by the Book Industry Study
Group (). The research completed will help any publisher with the task of finding a DAD. The research paper version of our work will
be made available as a final White Paper, with conclusions and updated information by Klopotek Inc. that can be ordered at

The Colophon, published from 1925 through 1935 for an audience of book collectors and connoisseurs, illuminates the debate
over the basis of a book's value: genuine quality or artificial scarcity. It also illustrates the distinction between genuine
news about the book industry and “publicity hypnosis”—today’s “hype.” The magazine’s authors, designers, typographers, printers,
and illustrators were among the finest of their day.
Claire Badaracco is an assistant professor at Marquette University, and is currently writing a series of articles about Anglo-American
book publishing, journalism, and publicity trades between 1920 and 1940 with the support of The British Academy, the National
Endowment, and the Bibliographical Society of America. Her work has been published inAmerican Literary Realism, Journalism Quarterly, Essays in Business and Economic History, and other journals. The Library of Congress, The Center for The Book, is publishing her monograph “The Lakeside Press Four

Publishing agreements have long operated with certain assumptions about what books are and what publishers do. These assumptions
are increasingly at odds with the new technological forms in which books are created and marketed, from e-books and Kindle
2 read-aloud works to so-called “vooks” that incorporate on-demand streaming video and other internet-based features in conjunction
with hard copy books. Publishers’ contracts need to be re-thought in light of these changed circumstances. Specifically, publishing
contracts today should focus on the activities in which the publisher may engage, and not the form in which the work may be
presented, a point that was made clear several years ago in the Random House v. RosettaBooks litigation. In defining these
activities, contracts should track the language of the exclusive rights enumerated in §106 of the Copyright Act. Finally,
to the extent that books are becoming “audiovisual works” publishers may be able to shift to a work-made-for-hire model for
obtaining ownership, rather than relying on grants from individual authors. 相似文献

The U.S. Supreme Court’s 1991 decision in the Feist case wiped away the idea that “sweat of the brow” is adequate for a copyright
claim. The history of the relevant issues is discussed and the Court’s decision is examined. The decision has a number of
implications for publishers but leaves many questions unanswered. 相似文献

University press books play a pivotal role in the transmission of knowledge among academics and to serious readers outside universities. Yet the market for these books underwent substantive changes and posted lacklustre increases in net publishers' revenues and unit sales between 1985 and 1999. In this article, statistical data on university presses' net publishers' unit and dollar revenues, covering the years 1985 through 1999, are analysed to ascertain: (i) shifts in the channels of distribution; (ii) the future demand for university press books for the years 2000 through 2004; and (iii) the price elasticity of demand for these titles. Other issues addressed briefly include competition from commercial academic publishers, consolidation in the publishing industry, the rise in importance of the global market for university press books, and financial issues. 相似文献
