A General Model of Publication
Although the medium and the material may differ vastly, essentially the same common process is always involved in publication (Fig. 1). For on-line publications this model makes it possible to automate many of the steps involved (see module on Automated document processing).
Figure 1. A model for the publication process. The same general pattern of steps occurs whatever the publication and whatever the type of material involved.
This model encompasses all the stages described earlier, but in a somewhat more formalized form. We can summarize the steps as follows:
Submission
The author submits material to the editor.
Acquisition
The publisher acquires material. Here we take this to include permissions. Details of the submission are recorded and an acknowledgment is sent to the author.
Quality assurance
The material is checked. Errors are referred back to the author for correction.
Production
The material is prepared for publication. This stage includes copy-editing, design, typesetting, printing and binding. Proofs are checked both by the author and editor and any typesetting errors are corrected. For books, an ISBN number is obtained.
Distribution
The publication is shipped to stores etc for sale. It is publicized so that people know that it is available.
The Internet offers advantages for publications of all-kinds. These include:
¡P instant world-wide availability;
¡P publication features of the World-Wide Web;
¡P eliminating distribution costs;
¡P reducing production costs - no need to print "hard copy";
¡P potential world-wide audience; and
¡P "niche"/special interest publishing becomes viable.
The World Wide Web expands the traditional notion of a publication in several ways:
¡P it is possible to include multimedia elements;
¡P it is possible to include hyperlinks to information anywhere;
¡P it is possible to draw together information from many different sources;
¡P hypermedia books are not limited to the traditional "linear" structure of printed books. They can, for instance, provide several alternative paths through a set of documents, or allow readers to pursue material to whatever depth they wish; and
¡P it diminishes the distinction between tradtitional text-oriented publications and other products, such as databases and on-line software.
Legal issues
Legal issues abound in the publishing business. Although legal issues are not dealt with in detail here the editor should make every effort to keep up to date with issues and changes. Each publication should be carefully checked to ensure that legal risks are minimized. Some of the legal matters involved in publishing include:
¡P Contracts
Publishers always need to ensure the legal status of material that they publish.
... 3) performance rights; 4) public display rights; and, 5) the right to prepare derivative works. It is important that Arundel understand how this may impact long term profitability of their investment, and any criteria required as part of the transaction should be incorporated into the proposal contract.

It changes the way we read and how we interpret books. With the help of technology, a book can change with the implementation of links to “...be taken to a related dictionary entry, Wikipedia article, or list of Google search results” (p.102). Reading a book and reading an electronic book is distinctly different from one another. An electronic book may lead to different sources of information which will easily cause our brain to get used to this format of acquiring information. It can also become a distraction towards our main goal and cause us to wander off and find different information. Link after link, you slowly withdraw from your book. Our views on printed books would vastly change causing us to become uninterested and would prefer the book electronically. The difference is the electronic book’s words “...become wrapped in all the distractions of the networked computer” (p.104). It is more than likely that mostly everybody will read an electronic book than a printed

Traditionally, book authors have had the Copyright Law to protect their creations. That changed, however, since their books have become available in electronic format. In short, the creations had been turned into information – one that can effortlessly be copied and distributed thanks to invent of computers, Internet, and (lately), cheap data storage devices. Adobe Corporation’s eBook was meant to fix that problem for the copyright owners, while letting the readers keep their rights to their copy of the book.

The student will need to refer to the APA manual for other format directions. A sample reference page is included below; however, this page includes special spacing and formatting.

The discussion into the relevance of this question can only be fabricated based on the definitive consideration of the internet, a key digital facet that expedites the abrasion of print publications. The internet has rendered access to information very effective, easy and strategic. Gone are the days when one would walk miles to the nearest library in order to satisfy their appetite for reading. With the internet, information storage has largely been restructured and can be retrieved in various digital forms. It is therefore commonsensical to assume that many publications, previously in print form, will eventually appear in digital format as e-books. To champions of printed books, this futuristic scenario provides the basis for their arguments.
However, iIn spite of the current pre-eminence of e-books, it may be argued that they are not likely to replace print books anytime soon or possibly at all. Both formats have their advantages and drawbacks, which makes for one of them difficult to replace the other. Moreover, they serve differents needs and purposes. E-books are famous for their portability. Hundreds of e-books can be stored on a single device. Thus e-books don’t take shelving space and are convenient to take on travel, while even a few paper books are bulky and quite heavy to carry around. Numerous e-books are in open access, while paper books are not routinely available free of charge. E-books may be acquired and accessed immediately online, a feature I enjoy especially and treasure most: many a time I was able to buy and read an e-book at home within minutes of learning of its existence. Needless to say, e-books are considerably easier to cite and quote than print books, since the copy-paste feature spares us the trouble of retyping the quoted text. Another important advantage of digital books is their specialized software, which makes reading much easier: search and reference tools, changeable font size and day/night mode, dictionaries. Last but not least, e-books conserv...
