Simba Information Studies Social Science and Humanities Publishing
Simba Information released a report, “Global Social Science and Humanities Publishing 2018-2022,” which serves as an overview and a financial outlook for the global social science and humanities publishing market. It shows that social science and humanities book sales grew in 2017 and 2018 (up 1.3% and a projected 1.5%, respectively), reversing course from previous trends. The U.S. university press sector grew 5.3% in 2017—that includes hardbacks, paperbacks, and ebooks. According to the press release, “Books are the largest social science publishing activity, but they are also the sector most dependent on non-U.S. dollar sales and are somewhat behind STM in the transition from print to digital.”For more information, read the press release.
