台灣地區大學出版社發展之問題與解決方案 Problem and Solutions in the Development of University Press in Taiwan

Abstract

本研究經網頁普查與訪談後，整理出29所設有出版部門之大學，作進一步分析討論。由於法規、人力、經費之侷限，台灣地區大學出版社數量雖持續成長，但實質作為仍不明朗。對於各種存在之缺失與機會之消長，將明顯影響台灣學術出版之盛衰。未來有待就電子化、聯合發行與評鑑做積極性之思考。This article looks at several current scenarios in the development of university press in Taiwan. Based on the web census and interviews, 29 universities with publishing section have been carefully examined. The status of university press is slowly changing and the Taiwan scholarly publishing market must encourage and evolve alongside theses changes if it is to have a future. To deal with the weakness and opportunities, this article suggests universities should consider ways to implement digitization, distribution consortium and put the press assessment into the official university evaluation system.
