The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and John Wiley & Sons Inc., a global leader in research and education, have expanded their publishing partnership to include EAACI’s official open access journal Clinical and Translational Allergy (CTA) alongside their other publications, Allergy and Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology, as of January 2021. CTA is a fully open access journal, edited by Prof. Jean Bousquet and Dr. Clive Grattan, and provides a dissemination of allergy research and reviews, as well as EAACI position papers, task force reports, and guidelines for an international scientific audience. “We are delighted to extend our collaboration with Wiley to include CTA in 2021. Having all three journals under the same publishing umbrella will allow them to benefit from Wiley's extensive expertise in the publishing process, while at the same time keeping up the high quality of EAACI's scientific content, including the most relevant progress and updates in the field." Tomàs Chivato, EAACI VP Science; Jean Bousquet, CTA Editor-in-Chief; Clive Grattan, CTA Editor-in-Chief.

Adobe announced the latest online inflation data from the Adobe Digital Price Index (DPI), powered by Adobe Analytics. Online prices in April 2023 fell 1.8% year-over-year (YoY), marking the eighth consecutive month of YoY price decreases, with the majority of categories (11 of 18) tracked by Adobe seeing falling prices on an annual basis. On a month-over-month (MoM) basis, online prices fell 0.7% in April. April’s YoY price decline was driven by notable drops in categories such as appliances, which fell 7.1% YoY (down 2.1% MoM), the largest YoY drop for the category since Adobe began tracking online prices in 2014. Prices continued to fall YoY in categories including sporting goods (down 6.4% YoY, up 1.5% MoM), toys (down 5.9% YoY, down 0.2% MoM) and home/garden (down 5.6% YoY, down 0.8% MoM). Steeper YoY declines were observed in electronics, which fell 11.6% YoY (up 0.5% MoM), as well as computers, which fell 15.4% YoY (up 1.9% MoM).

With all major categories posting double-digit gains, unit sales of print book rose 19.5% in the week ended Jan. 30, 2021, over the comparable week in 2020, at outlets that report to NPD BookScan. Unit sales of YA fiction soared by 50.6% over the week ended Feb. 1, 2020, and YA nonfiction sales rose 41.2%. In both cases it was strong across-the-board sales rather than one or two big bestsellers that drove the gains. In YA fiction, We Were Liars by E. Lockhart remained the top title, selling more than 11,000 copies. Brigid Kemmerer’s A Vow So Bold and Deadly was the bestselling new title, selling more than 7,000 copies. YA nonfiction sales were led by Stamped by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi, which sold more than 3,400 copies. Juvenile fiction unit sales rose 32.5% and nonfiction increased 24% over a year ago. Alice Schertle’s Little Blue Truck’s Valentine stayed in the fiction top spot, selling just over 25,000 copies.
