  • University Presses: an Australian Perspective
    This is an author’s original manuscript of an article submitted to Contraportada [Backcover], published by Ediciones Uniandes, Colombia. University Presses: An Australian Perspective Agata Mrva-Montoya, Honorary Associate, Department of Media and Communications, The University of Sydney University presses in Australia share much in common with other university presses in the world in their missions, modes of operation and history. Since the reduction of higher education funding in the 1970s, affecting universities, their presses and libraries, they have been forced to experiment with new business models and publishing strategies. The cuts in library budgets, combined with the substantial price increases of journal subscriptions started a decline in the purchase of scholarly monographs, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, which continues to the present. This trend has been recently boosted by libraries moving away from standing orders to patron-driven acquisition of books. These days, the average print run of a scholarly monograph is between 150 and 300 copies. With diminishing demand from individual readers and libraries, and dwindling financial support from host universities, some presses turned to foundations, government agencies and private donors; some ventured into the money- generating markets of textbook, professional and trade publishing. Some started to experiment with open access publishing, facilitated by digital technologies. Despite those pressures, the world of university presses in Australia remains diverse and vibrant, with a number of active players with different approaches who publish across academic, academic-trade and trade sectors of the market, in print and digital formats. The presses vary in size from three to four in-house staff in smaller presses to over 40 in larger enterprises.
