    Community involvement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Language Science Press is a community enterprise. We rely on the community for authoring and reviewing, but also for typesetting and proofreading. Across all published books, 314 linguists from all over the world<\/a> have participated in proofreading. The most prolific proofreader is Jeroen van de Weijer<\/a>, who has proofread chapters of 116 books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We changed our proofreading setup to mailing list, getting rid of some inactive addresses in the process. This means that there are currently 491 proofreaders registered with Language Science Press (-12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For our 30 series, we are happy to be able to rely on 508 members in editorial boards from 52 different countries on 6 continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Paperhive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Of the books published in 2022, 23 went through proofreading on Paperhive. A total of 16,345 comments were left, for an average of 711 per book, or 2.08 comments per page. The book with the most comments was The negative existential cycle<\/em> (1488). The total number of books which have completed proofreading on Paperhive is 162. Total number of comments over all books is 111,060 (mean: 683, median: 645.5, 1.95 comments\/page).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    CO\u2082<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We traveled to conferences Marseille, Leeuwarden, Oxford, Potsdam, Paris, Gent, and Prague. 9,697km by train (0.04t CO\u2082), exactly 1,000km by car (0.19t CO\u2082). The comparable CO\u2082 footprint of plane travel would have been 2.88t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We had a revenue of 132,775.95 (- 2,081.61\u20ac) in 2022 and expenditures of 143,343.62 \u20ac (+ 16,906.19\u20ac). The main cost items are personnel (108,662.50 \u20ac), service providers (19,265.86 \u20ac), rent (6,000.00 \u20ac), travel (5,449.82\u20ac), book copies (3,527.26 \u20ac), and gear (438,18 \u20ac). A total of four employees of three different nationalities have received a salary from Language Science Press (none of them full time, and only two of them 12 months).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Revenue and expenses 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Our costs are higher than last year, while the number of books published is again 30. Our cost per book is now 4,800 \u20ac where it was 4,200 \u20ac before. This is basically because we are training a new employee to be able to handle a higher output in the years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lion\u2019s share of our revenue comes from institutional memberships via Knowledge Unlatched<\/a> (116,000 \u20ac). 10,308.99 \u20ac come from print margins, the rest is from diverse sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
