Duncker & Humblot is a distinguished academic publishing house based in Berlin, Germany, with a legacy dating back to 1798. Specializing in scholarly literature, the publisher focuses on fields such as law, economics, social sciences, history, political science, literary studies, and philosophy. Annually, Duncker & Humblot releases over 300 new monographs and edited volumes, along with 20 specialized journals and yearbooks. Their extensive catalog boasts more than 17,000 available titles, with over 12,500 accessible as e-books. The publisher also offers a proprietary eLibrary for electronic publications.
Challenge
Duncker As an academic book and journal publisher, we needed a central platform on which we can enable our core clientele, libraries, to conveniently use all of our digital content. The platform had to be stable and performent, adequately present various types of content, reflect the state of the art of academic publishing, be flexible and scalable, and - last but not least - be affordable for a small publisher with a very extensive backlist.
Result
With CloudPublish, we found a partner who meets these criteria. As a result, we have been able to concentrate in recent years on the essential issues: namely, expanding business models and services for our customers and authors.
