Abstract "This is a detailed analysis of the business of the scholarly publishing in the U.S. of: books; journals; pre-prints; and various scholarly publications in institutional repositories. Drawing on an extensive review of the literature, and statistical sources, the book examines: the changing environment of scholarly publishing; the product, price, placement, promotion, and costs (including some P & L statements) of scholarly books and journals. Special attention is paid to: the history and development of scholarly books and journals; intellectual property issues, including the development of the U.S. copyright law and infringement issues Sci-Hub; an author's contract; and the impact of technology (including open access) on books and journals. The book also discusses how scholarly publishers are trying to manage in what are turbulent times. The book contains extensive notes, a detailed bibliography, book and journal statistical tables, and figures."-- Provided by publisher.
