Trends and new models in Academic Book Publishing

The panel looked at the current models adopted by academic book publishing in India, to develop original content for various disciplines and present it in forms that are accessible to students. The managing of revisions due to emerging research and speeds at which technology allows such revisions to be taken to the target audience would be delved into. Similarly, with the growth in tech-enabled access to content, publishers now have to look at multiple formats and a variety of licensing models to deliver their content. With academic publishing taking lead in this scenario, the session will glean ideas that can be adopted by other publishing segments as well.
