About

Newsletters/Looseleafs/Directories

This category has been in steady decline for several years as it is one better served by online services: looseleafs and directories shared some of the capabilities better done by a medical database reference like Wolters Kluwers’ UpToDate, frequent updates to a large corpus of content. Newsletters were brief, high-value bulletins, an area now served by tweets or e-mail alerts.

Further depressing the category in 2012 is the looming change to ICD-10. Coding titles are a significant piece of the U.S. directory business and one largely frozen until late 2013 when the new code takes effect. The impact of the market for these coding books is the major driver for Simba’s estimate of an overall xxxx of xx% in 2012.

Language Splits and Major Publishing Hubs

In a world dominated by the English language, it is easy to overlook the importance of non-English publishing. STM publishing is produced primarily in the developed world. North America, the United Kingdom, India and Australasia are unsurprisingly important English-language consumers as well as producers; however the character of non-English speaking countries follows a different pattern.
