The history of research and scholarship demonstrates this constantly. In this blog post, industry-leading veteran David Worlock looks back at the last 25 years (and beyond….) in publishing, and considers the impact that the digital shift will continue to have on business models into the future.Ĭhange always needs intermediation.
