Why License Crystal Reference
content ?
High Quality
Crystal Reference content has been developed over the last fifteen years
under the strict editorial control of Professor David Crystal, a world
authority on reference publishing. Our inhouse editorial team manages
a contributor base of over 500 people, all of whom are noted experts
in their field.
Lower costs of ownership
Investment of over £ 4 million has been made in creating the Crystal
Reference content databases. Few organisations could justify invesment
of this level to bring a new title to market.
Time to market
Crystal Reference products are stored electronically and can be output
to a required format in a matter of hours. This reduces the time taken
to publish a new title or to launch a new online product etc. to a matter
of days rather than months spent in content development.
Adaptable content
Due to the highly sophistaicated classification system devloped by Crystal
Reference, the content can be broken down to serve individual requirements.
In this way, we can supply one record or a thousand records relating
to a given subject. Similarly, our clients can dissect our database
to extract data relating to a given theme such as sporting events, biographies
etc.
Faster return on investment
All of the above factors combined will bring about a faster return in
investment enabling a comprehensive range of products to be delivered
to the marketplace in comparison to other methods.
Terms
Crystal Reference content is available under a wide range of payment
terms and licensing options. For further information and to discuss
your individual requirements, please contact licensing@crystalreference.com
