Publishing Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the processes, practices, and impacts of publishing in various formats, including books, journals, and digital media. It explores how content is created, distributed, and consumed, focusing on the roles of authors, editors, publishers, and readers. This field also investigates the evolving landscape of publishing, including the rise of self-publishing, open access, and digital platforms. By analyzing trends and challenges, Publishing Studies aims to understand how these changes affect knowledge dissemination, cultural production, and the economics of the publishing industry.
