Abstract

In this section we elaborate on the general structure of the academic publishing market. In fact, it is important to understand how the academic publishing market and especially the journal publishing market has evolved over time. First, we will generally look at the principles of academic publishing, creating a basic understanding on the different models for scholarly publication and the players involved. Second, we will elaborate on the specific market characteristics. Facts and figures on the publishing model provide with a comprehensive overview on the immanent structure and changes of market characteristics in historical reflection. The implications drawn from this industry analysis lay the foundations when later reflecting on the effects of certain legislative or policy changes.
