  • A Bibliography of Books and Journal Articles on Scholarly Publishing
  • Albert N. Greco

No matter how hard we try, it is almost impossible to keep up to date with the relevant published literature on scholarly communications. This problem has plagued publishers and editors of scholarly books and journals, and scholars keenly interested in this growing scholarly subject area, for decades. In the past few years, however, this dilemma has been exacerbated by a staggering proliferation of books (more than 195,000 new hardbound and paperbound books were published in the United States in 2004); in addition, the stunning outpouring of print and open-access scholarly journals has also made this task immensely difficult.

To address this problem, the Journal of Scholarly Publishing is launching a new bibliographical section (listing significant articles, books, and working papers published in the last few years) of specific interest to readers of this journal. Those great standard works (e.g., Peck and Newby's Scholarly Publishing or Coser, Kadushin, and Powell's Books: the Culture and Commerce of Publishing) have been excluded from the bibliography because they are well known to working professionals in scholarly publishing and to scholars. In addition, articles published in the Journal of Scholarly Publishing are not included, since the journal publishes an annual index of its articles.

As might be expected, the bibliography includes an array of works published in library science as well as in various humanities and social science publications. What is significant, however, is the broad range of important publications in the scientific, technical, and [End Page 48] medical literature, scholarly areas frequently not perused by editors and publishers in the humanities and social sciences.
