Introduction

Module by: Lawrence McGill. E-mail the author

Summary: Introduction to "The State of Scholarly Publishing in the History of Art and Architecture", Section IV "Survey of Art and Architectural History Editors: Key Findings".

In April 2006, a nonscientific sample of art and architectural history editors was asked to complete a short questionnaire asking about the subject areas they manage, the number and types of publications issued by their press in art history and related subjects, submissions and the review process, costs of publication, sales, and the role of electronic publishing at their press. The 12 university press editors who responded represent most of the larger academic publishers of art and architectural history works. While the aggregated responses of these 12 respondents can be taken as generally indicative of the editorial practices at university presses with significant commitments to publishing in the area of art and architectural history, they should not be considered representative of university presses in general.

An additional 5 surveys were completed by editors at trade presses. Because this number is too small to permit meaningful generalizations, only the findings from university presses are covered in this report.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
