Why does publishing matter?
Because successful societies
embrace books and reading
![Page 4: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• UNESCO: reading for enjoyment is the strongest
marker for social mobility, children that enjoy
reading are most likely to be successful adults
• OECD/PISA: best readers perform best in digital
literacy
• US study: readers are better citizens: build civil
society
• International research: books and reading keeps
children in education

Global Challenges to Publishing
• Digital publishing
• Globalisation
• Policy makers don’t value publishing
• Piracy and other uses without payment
![Page 9: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Three key publishing sectors:
1. Scholarly publishing
2. Educational publishing
3. Consumer publishing
![Page 10: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Scholarly Publishing
• $ 12 bln worldwide
• Almost fully global
• 70% digital
• Policy debate: open access
• Publishers are needed more than ever for:
a. Peer review
b. Consistency and comprehensiveness
c. Research tools
![Page 11: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Educational Publishing
• ca. 50% of international publishing
• 19% in Europe
• >90% in developing countries
• Content needs to follow local curricula
• Policy debate: open educational resources
• Policy debate: digital migration
![Page 12: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Can’t the Internet provide free
school books?”
Why open educational resources don’t work:
1. Educational publishing is difficult and expensive
2. Lack of quality/reliability
3. No competition/innovation
4. Sponsored sources: politically influenced and
unsustainable
![Page 13: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Publishers do more than sell
books
• Publishers reach out to teachers
• Publishers listen to teachers
• Publishers teach teachers
• Publishers can fail, if teachers don’t like their books
![Page 14: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Where open educational
resources work
1. Together with textbooks
2. Where subject has few students
3. In least developed countries
![Page 15: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How you can ensure that digital
migration works in schools
1. Technology is not good or bad, but it is effective or
ineffective.
2. What is the problem you are trying to solve?
3. Have project pilots demonstrated that it actually
improves educational outcomes?
4. Is it sustainable?
5. Don’t focus on hardware, focus on content and
pedagogy
![Page 16: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Consumer Publishing
The next big step for Ukrainian publishers
Linked to market penetration of ebook readers
US: 23% of publisher revenue, other countries
slowly following
Growth may be slowing
Market penetration very different by genre:
high share in mystery/romance
low share in children’s books
![Page 17: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Piracy and unauthorised use
1. Unusually high paper piracy in Ukraine
2. Digital piracy is rampant
3. Digital piracy does not increase when
publishers begin selling ebooks
4. What can be done to combat piracy and
unauthorised use
a. Develop a commercial ebook market
b. Sell ebooks at reasonable prices
c. Fight commercial pirates
![Page 18: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Public policy can grow or destroy
local publishing
1. Promotion of literacy and book culture
2. Promotion of local publishing
3. Sensible Copyright Law
![Page 19: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1. Promotion of literacy and
book culture
• Early literacy is the key
• Bring books back into the living rooms
• Publicly celebrate books and publishing
• Learn and teach about technologies
![Page 20: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2. Promotion of local
publishing
• No state publishing/ No state control over
publishing
• Reduce VAT for all books (well done!)
• Introduce school textbook procurement policies
that encourage publishing competition
• Purchasing programmes for local
libraries/reasonable legal deposit
![Page 21: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Promotion of Digital Publishing
• Education and training for digital publishing
• National bibliographic database
• Metadata and distribution data: introduce ONIX
• Promote use of EPUB 3
• Encourage Export:
- Translation programmes
- International book fairs
![Page 22: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Sensible Copyright Law
• Fair and balanced copyright
• Internet needs professional authors and
publishers
• Exceptions should be as broad as necessary, but
not broader
• Strengthen national collecting societies to
improve flexibility and balance
• Solve access issues through collaboration and
clever use of technology
![Page 23: Public Policies for Local Publishing - Book PlatformGlobal Publishing • € 80 bln global publishing industry sales • ca. 1,000,000 book published per year • 143 titles per 1mln](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042916/5f54c2a9b264da03d06d9636/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Copyright is the way the law shows respect for the
author and publisher.
