Tomas Hult talks with Nick Philipson, Editorial Director of Business/Economics and Statistics at Springer. They discuss a variety of issues related to publishing academic journals. Nick tells us about the merger of Springer and Nature/Palgrave and what it means for their publishing portfolio.

He also elaborates on how the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) fits into Springer’s hundreds of publications. Plus, Nick adopts a crystal ball mentality and forecasts the trends that we can expect to see in the journal publishing industry in the next 5-10 years.
