edition for children, regulatory document, term, type of edition, criteria for editions’ classificationAbstract
The article attempts to summarise and structure the current regulatory information on editions for children in Ukraine, describing typical practical results. Such scientific and methodological aspirations were caused by the absence of a stable and generally accepted definition of the term ‘edition for children’ in Ukraine.
This publication mentions the names of the main researchers who considered editions for children through the prism of their relation to literature for children, book publishing for children, illustration of publications for children, press for children, printed editions for children, electronic resources for children and statistical accounting of these types of editions. After a brief overview of the existing areas of research on editions for children, the author of the publication attempts to formulate her interpretation of the term ‘editions for children’. In the future, such an interpretation has a chance to be transformed into an official definition of ‘editions for children’, or at least to be partially used in future updates of regulatory documents.
The research was based mainly on a review of current Ukrainian regulatory documents that directly or indirectly coordinate the production of editions for children. The theoretical basis of the study includes some regulatory documents at different levels of the publishing and printing industries: national (DSTU, DSanPiN), industry (GSTU) and local (SOU) standards. Since there is still a huge problem of professional understanding and practical application of the existing official terminology on the types of editions for children, a selection of items regulating the publishing and printing aspects of editions for children was made from the texts of the standards. All the information identified was summarised and formed into lists according to the logic of practical application.
The practical part of the study is verbalised in the description of typical publishing products presented in the form of various types of editions for children published in modern Ukraine. Digital indicators of editions for children are taken from the official information on statistical accounting of all kinds of editions by the State archive of printing – Ivan Fedorov Book Chamber of Ukraine.
