Studies

One of the main problems of the publishing sector, both in Argentina and in other countries of the region, is the lack of quality and updated information. Systematic studies are a necessary condition for identifying and addressing the different problems that characterise book production, circulation and access to books in our countries.

• General reports on the book ecosystem. This type of study will seek to describe and analyse the main links in the book production and commercialisation chain (publishing houses, specialised graphic workshops, distributors and bookshops) and their relationship with each other.
  
  
• Specific reports on different areas of the book world in order to provide solid information for the design and implementation of professional and public policies. Some examples of specific topics are:
  • Internationalisation of the publishing sector in general and by market segment.
  • Penetration and digitisation modalities of the publishing and book sector.
  • Structure and functioning of the book sector.
  • Logics of production and circulation of children's literature.
  • Structure and dynamics of academic, private and university publishing.
  • Legal, social and economic situation of workers in the publishing sector.
  • Legal, social and economic situation of writers and translators in the publishing market.
  • Technological transformations, changes in production and circulation practices, and tensions in the principles and rules governing copyright.
