  Here we describe the Bibliometric Indicators for Publishers Project, an
initiative undertaken by EC3Metrics SL for the analysis and development of
indicators based on books and book chapters. Its goal is to study and analyze
the publication and citation patterns of books and book chapters considering
academic publishers as the unit of analysis. It aims at developing new
methodologies and indicators that can better capture and define the research
impact of publishers. It is an on-going project in which data sources and
indicators are tested. We consider academic publishers as an analogy of
journals, focusing on them as the unit of analysis. In this working paper we
present the http://bipublishers.es website where all findings derived from the
project are displayed. We describe the data retrieval and normalization process
and we show the main results. A total 482,470 records have been retrieved and
processed, identifying 342 publishers from which 254 have been analyzed. Then
six indicators have been calculated for each publisher for four fields and 38
disciplines and displayed.
