Affiliation indirect interactions

[cherryfirsov]

Dear all,

 

I have an idea to research indirect interactions of publishing affiliations - like are they competing or collaborating basing on their authors publications.

 

Can you please tell me are there any instruments to do that?

Or is there anybody interested in such research?

 

Regards,

Me

Ok, thank you!

 

However, question is till opened.

On this thread you have 18 views, maybe someone will reply. I don't know what you are asking; thus, have nothing to say about it.

I am guessing English is your second language, so your question is not entirely clear. This is how I understand it:

 

You wish to explore the way in publishers interact with each other indirectly. In other words you are not concerned with formal agreements that may exist between publishers, but rather the way their actions are influenced by the responses in the market. As an example you say you might consider the extent to which publishers compete or collaborate with each other, based upon an examination of the work of their authors.

 

Do I have that more or less right? It seems rather vague. That probably reflects my understanding.

I am still unsure, are you really talking about publishers and if so do you mean e.g. journals or whole publishing houses (which may publish several journals). Or do you mean authors? Or do you mean interactions between editors and authors? Are you talking about science publishing (i.e. papers) or books, or...?
