“…In her 2011 article "Governance through medical texts and the role of print," TJ Hinrichs focuses on the key but limited role of printing in the developments of medicine in the Song dynasty. 15 She considers official publishing as "a critical component in the expanding medical repertoire of Northern Song statecraft," but she locates the origins of this dramatic shift with the use and dissemination of medical texts as a tool of governance instead of the technology of print. Hinrichs emphasizes that medical texts engraved on stone or on wooden blocks and posted in public places rather than printed medical publications played a key role in the local spread of official medical knowledge and in the transformation of "noxious" southern customs.…”

This article focuses on the intersection of English-language scholarship between the history of publishing and the history of medicine in Imperial China. As an important part of cultural and social history, both topics have attracted attention from a number of historians. This article contains three sections. The first section introduces the evolution of Chinese book and publishing history in recent years and examines what book historians have done in relation to traditional Chinese medicine. The second section explores how medical historians have considered the role of printing in the history of Chinese medicine and the ways in which medical publications were used as primary sources or subjects of research. The third section explores scholarship on medical epistemic genres, a subfield of medical history, in Chinese medicine, specifically focusing on medical case histories and recipes from the comparative and cross-cultural perspectives. Finally, the conclusion explores potential future directions from the integration of Chinese publishing history and medical history.

Publishing is in essence the purposeful dissemination of some work by its creator beyond just him‐ or herself, whether orally or using one of the many writing systems, always, as with any social institution, intermingled with politics, power, and social constraints. There have been many changes in the culture and conventions of publishing over the years, in large part because of changing technologies—in particular, print and digital reproduction. Recent developments include an arguably greater role for authors in the form of self‐publishing, print on demand, ebooks, audiobooks, online publication, and open access, together with online selling and services for authors. This entry summarizes the current technological, logistical, and economic conditions under which academic publishing currently takes place.
