Science Publishing Prepares For WTO Entry

Writers and publishers of science books and magazines for general audience are trying to prepare their industry for China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), the China Daily reported today.

Due to lack of creativeness and vividness, China's science publications usually attract few readers.

After China joins WTO, some protective policies enjoyed by Chinese publishers, such as limits of market entry on foreign publications and protective prices will no longer exist.

Domestic publishers, especially science book publishers, will face much tougher competition, the newspaper said.

In seeking a way out, Li Shi, editor-in-chief of the Popular Science Publishing House, suggested the industry improve quality and appeal of mass-market science books to attract domestic readers and increase exports.

Currently, at least 7,000 mass-market science books and more than 300 science magazines roll off the presses each year, three times more than in the early 1980s.
