The Research Information Yearbook 2023-24 is out now!
We are delighted to tell you that the Research Information Yearbook for 2023-24 is now published!
As ever, the last 12 months has been a time of change in scholarly communications, and this yearbook covers many of the subject areas that have seen crucial developments: artificial intelligence; open science and research; ebook pricing; preprints; user experience; developments in the Global South, India and the Middle East; metrics and citation; and industry standards.
We are also proud to feature interviews with leaders from publishing companies, libraries, and the world of university presses.
Now you can preview some of the articles from the new yearbook on our website! Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll find:
