竞争与合作:向电子学术期刊转型中的图书馆和出版商

Competition and cooperation: Libraries and publishers in the transition to electronic scholarly journals

Andrew Odlyzko

摘要:

学术期刊向数字格式的转换正在迅速进行,特别是对于那些来自大型商业和学术团体出版商的期刊。这种转变为这些出版商提供了生存的最大希望。臭名昭著的“期刊危机”与其说是出版商定价问题,不如说是图书馆成本危机,图书馆内部成本远远高于购买书籍和期刊的费用。因此,出版商可以保持甚至增加他们的收入和利润,同时提供优质的服务。要做到这一点,他们将不得不接管图书馆的许多功能,而他们只能在数字领域做到这一点。本文探讨了出版商的战略,他们可能如何演变,以及他们将如何影响图书馆。

英文摘要:

The conversion of scholarly journals to digital format is proceeding rapidly, especially for those from large commercial and learned society publishers. This conversion offers the best hope for survival for such publishers. The infamous "journal crisis" is more of a library cost crisis than a publisher pricing problem, with internal library costs much higher than the amount spent on purchasing books and journals. Therefore publishers may be able to retain or even increase their revenues and profits, while at the same time providing a superior service. To do this, they will have to take over many of the function of libraries, and they can do that only in the digital domain. This paper examines publishers' strategies, how they are likely to evolve, and how they will affect libraries.
