These statistics are compiled through ISBN-based bibliographic registration and the submission of legal deposit copies to the LNB, and therefore reflect counts of publications that were actually published and deposited in the national repository. To verify publisher identity, legal status, and main economic activities and to support the classification, additional information was obtained from: (i) the Lithuanian Publishers catalogue administered by the LNB (https://ibiblioteka.lt/metis/lithuanian-publishers); (ii) publicly available legal-entity data and open-statistics resources provided by the State Enterprise Centre of Registers (https://www.registrucentras.lt/atviri-duomenys-ir-statistika); and (iii) the dataset “Juridinių asmenų ekonominės veiklos rūšys ir instituciniai sektoriai” (“Economic activities and institutional sectors of legal entities”) accessed via the Lithuanian Open Data portal/API (get.data.gov.lt; https://data.gov.lt/datasets/2088).
