摘要:This paper analyzes the impact of digitization on the Spanish scholarly
publishing sector. Scholarly publishers are those publishing mainly books
of interest to the scientific, academic and/or university community or that
deal with scientific disciplines. In Spain, there are currently 673 publishers
whose books are classified in disciplines such as Science, Technology,
Medicine, Humanities and Social Sciences. Currently, this figure of scholarly
publishers equals approximately 20% of all Spanish publishers. The
present study has two main goals: a) to determine the degree to which
digitization is affecting the existing business models in Spanish scholarly
publishers and b) to identify the emergence of new business models in the
Spanish scholarly publishing sector. To carry out this research, an empirical
analysis is conducted by means of surveys sent to a sample extracted from
the population of scholarly Spanish publishers, following the criterion of
stratified random sampling.
