Simba Publishing has announced its recent and forthcoming schedule of publications that cover all aspects of the information industry. October sees the publication of its Information Markets Hotlist 2008 http://www.simbainformation.com/pub/1609433.html, which covers topics that are deemed to be the subject of much industry debate and which are likely to have an impact on the future of the information industry. The types of subjects you can expect to find in the Hotlist include: · Net neutrality · Intellectual property and copyright · Internet security, privacy and protection of sensitive data · Mega mergers, and the impact of industry consolidation. Its Technology & Information Markets 2008 http://www.simbainformation.com/pub/1609440.html report reviews those technologies that are shaping the future of the information industry. The types of technologies discussed include search algorithms, wireless technology, RSS feeds and workflow integration, text analytics and algorithmic trading in financial markets. Simba’s Global STM Publishing 2008-2009 http://www.simbainformation.com/pub/1609434.html will be available at the beginning of November. This report will analyse the market size and structure of the scientific, technical and medical markets and will provide a perspective on customer demands for STM products. Profiles of a number of publishers are included, along with revenue and market share rankings. Simba also includes its market growth projections. The publisher is offering a 5% pre-publication discount. Another November publication is the Global Professional Publishing 2008-2009 report http://www.simbainformation.com/pub/1609445.html and a 5% discount is offered. This report covers all markets – legal, business, scientific and technical, and medical. The trends that Simba track and evaluate include: · Market size by market type and publishing medium · Drivers for growth · Publishers’ strategies for online and overseas growth · The impact of the open access movement on the publishing industry · Mergers and acquisitions. Industry revenue is broken down by media, which, according to Simba, will let readers ‘evaluate growth potential, understand trends affecting the industry, size the competition, review potential partner or acquisition profiles, examine revenue rankings and three-year forecasts, benchmark performance, and plan short-and long-term growth strategies.’ The audience for this report is publishing executives, M&A advisors, market analysts and industry consultants. In VIP’s view this report seems an excellent companion piece to Incisive Media’s Inside Market Data Reference report, mentioned elsewhere in this issue.
