Stakeholders, Service, and the Future of University Press Publishing
Richard Brown
Stakeholder theory is a useful framework for understanding any industry, and
I contend that university presses should focus their energies and attention
on managing stakeholders and creating value for stakeholders. But while this
focus is necessary, it is not sufficient. I propose that a commitment to
service through entrepreneurship underlies university press relationships
with primary stakeholders. University presses should therefore (a)
strategically seek the widest possible access for value-added content
through (b) creative delivery channels in order to help scholarly
communities of practice advance their teaching, learning, and research. This
will, I hope, (d) result in sufficient revenue to allow the organization to
grow and flourish (e) in order to serve communities of practice and the
academy and society more effectively.

The Wisconsin Magazine of History: A Case Study in Scholarly and Popular
Approaches to American State Historical Society Publishing, 1917-2000
Ryan Schumacher
This article examines the history of American historical societies by
focusing on the Wisconsin Magazine of History (WMH), published by the State
Historical Society of Wisconsin (now known as the Wisconsin Historical
Society). The first half of the paper relates the history of American state
historical societies and their publishing ventures until the founding of the
WMH in 1917. The first American state historical societies were private
organizations of elite men, and their publications were meant to notify
similar organizations of their proceedings. The advent of public state
historical organizations opened membership to a much broader segment of
society, but the professionalization of the study of history in the late
nineteenth century brought about a more rigorous approach to the writing of
history. Throughout the twentieth century, the SHSW and similar
organizations have sought to balance an appeal to a broad public and a
scholarly approach to history in publications such as the WMH. By examining
issues of the WMH from 1917 to 2000, as the author has done in the second
half of the paper, one can see how the publication, with audiences clearly
in mind, tilted toward one side of this balance or the other in its design
and content.

What Makes a Working Paper in Economics Publishable? A Tale from the
Scientific Periphery
Aurora A. C. Teixeira
Research on scientific production and publications in the field of economics
has positively boomed in the last few years. However, hardly any attention
has been dedicated to the production of working papers and the consequences
they may have within the institutions where they are produced. This paper
provides a detailed analysis of the working papers produced and published
from an institution that is relatively peripheral in terms of its production
of research in economics. It mainly explores the probability of the working
papers being published in peer-reviewed journals. Through the use of an
extensive series of these working papers, produced between 1985 and the end
of 2005, and through the estimation of a logistic regression model, it was
concluded that the probability of international publication increases
significantly when the working paper is recent and co-written with a
researcher from a foreign institution. Such evidence suggests that for
success in the 'publish or perish' world of scientific research, one has to
be integrated into an international scientific network.

The Consequences of a Life in Scholarly Publishing*
Morris Philipson
There is a set of values and goals that endures in scholarly publishing
through the vagaries of format innovations, changing market conditions, and
shifting intellectual fashions: a commitment to the idea of ideas;
dedication to the essentials of communication, even at the price of hiding
our part as publishers in the equation; and an appreciation of the power of
transforming thought. As scholarly publishers, we nurture the 'play' of
thought that is the life of the mind, and, in turn, in becoming what we do,
we are the better for it.
