&lt;p>Data collection began during the preparation of the bachelor’s thesis "Crowdfunding Opportunities for Book Publishing" at Mykolas Romeris University in the 2024–2025 academic year. The initial logic for classifying publishers applied in the Bachelor’s thesis was subsequently expanded, and, in the deposited version of the data, the classification was further validated by assigning EVRK/NACE economic activity codes linked from government open data registers.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Legal-entity records were linked using the national legal-entity code, adding main economic activity codes (EVRK Rev. 2) and other register-derived attributes. EVRK codes and legal-form labels were mapped to the study-specific publisher categories; where EVRK codes did not clearly reflect a publisher’s activities, additional information was identified through manual verification using publicly available web sources.&lt;/p></dcterms:description><dcterms:subject>Arts and Humanities</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>Social Sciences</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>publishing industry</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>book use</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>information use</dcterms:subject><dcterms:language>English</dcterms:language><dcterms:language>Lithuanian</dcterms:language><dcterms:date>2025-12</dcterms:date><dcterms:contributor>Dagienė, Eleonora (Institute of Communication, Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania [ORCID: 0000-0003-0043-3837])</dcterms:contributor><dcterms:contributor>Žvaliauskas, Giedrius (Center for Data Analysis and Archiving (DAtA), Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania [ORCID: 0000-0001-8970-0756])</dcterms:contributor><dcterms:dateSubmitted>2026-01-16</dcterms:dateSubmitted><dcterms:temporal>2019</dcterms:temporal><dcterms:temporal>2023</dcterms:temporal><dcterms:temporal>2024-12</dcterms:temporal><dcterms:temporal>2025-12</dcterms:temporal><dcterms:type>&lt;a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7152218" target="_blank">Aggregated data: Cultural statistics&lt;/a> (LiDA Controlled Vocabulary for Types of Social Science Data)</dcterms:type><dcterms:type>&lt;a href="https://vocabularies.cessda.eu/vocabulary/KindOfData?code=Mixed" target="_blank">Mixed&lt;/a> (DDI Alliance CV for Kind of Data)</dcterms:type><dcterms:source>&lt;a href="https://vocabularies.cessda.eu/vocabulary/DataSourceType?code=RegistersRecordsAccountsAdministrative" target="_blank">Registers/Records/Accounts: administrative&lt;/a> (DDI Alliance CV for Data Source Type)</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Data set “Economic activities and institutional sectors of legal entities”, Lietuvos Open Data Portal (https://data.gov.lt/datasets/2088)</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Lithuanian Publishers catalogue (https://ibiblioteka.lt/metis/lithuanian-publishers)</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Markevičienė, R., &amp; Tamulynienė, L.
