6. Researchers
• How will researchers produce and use
academic books in the future?
Current:
• Growing expectations regarding convenience
and access
• Production and usage most often the same as
for physical book (only on screen)
• Most innovation outside formal publications –
web and social media

submission and publication workflow

formats and social media
• Media rich, enhanced publications

• Integrated data visualisation, sonification,
interactive modelling, artistic content
