NACE v2.0 Code: J58.14

About publishing of journals and periodicals

NACE code 58.14 covers the publishing of journals, magazines, and other periodicals, whether in print or electronic format. This industry plays a vital role in the dissemination of information, news, and analysis across a wide range of topics and sectors. As a key component of the broader publishing industry, the publishing of journals and periodicals contributes significantly to the knowledge-based economy and the free flow of information in society.

Production process

The production of journals and periodicals typically involves a multi-step process. This includes the commissioning and editing of content, the design and layout of the publication, and the printing and distribution of the final product. Many publishers also maintain an online presence, with digital versions of their publications and supplementary content. The rise of digital publishing has introduced new techniques, such as content management systems and online distribution platforms, which have transformed the industry.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the publishing of journals and periodicals include editorial and journalistic talent, graphic design expertise, printing equipment and materials, and distribution networks. Publishers also rely on a range of other inputs, such as information and data sources, advertising revenue, and technological infrastructure to support their operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the publishing of journals and periodicals industry are the physical and digital publications themselves, which are consumed by readers, researchers, and other interested parties. The content produced by this industry can also be used as inputs for other NACE codes, such as 58.11 Publishing of books, 63.91 News agency activities, and 72.20 Research and experimental development on social sciences and humanities.
