Productivity data for the period 2015-2017 are presented, as well as the positioning and arguments of the management of the publishing houses, policies, and financing modalities. In order to collect data, a questionnaire was sent to the editors associated with UNE (answered by 58%), complemented by in-depth interviews with seven of them.
