The Association of American Publishers is the national trade association of the U.S. book publishing industry. AAP’s more than 300 members include most of the major commercial publishers in the United States, as well as smaller and non-profit publishers, university presses and scholarly societies—small and large. AAP members publish hardcover and paperback books in every field, educational materials for the elementary, secondary, postsecondary, and professional markets, scholarly journals, computer software, and electronic products and services.

Publishers such as Academic Press play an important role in creating scientific and technical journals, in ensuring the scientific importance and accuracy of the published information, and in getting the journals distributed to the research community as quickly as possible.
As of March 1990 CCC had distributed over $9.3 million to publishers, and is obligated to distribute the remainder of the fees received (less an average service charge of 30%) which it has deferred distributing (with the agreement of the copyright owners) to cover start-up and certain other costs.
And without publishers prepared to take the financial risk of publishing and disseminating such articles, there would be no reason for authors to write them; even if they did, the articles would fail to achieve distribution that promoted the progress of science.
The Association of AmericanPublishers (AAP) is the largest trade association of publishing companies in the United States.
The AAP serves many public relations functions, but perhaps its most notable role is lobbying for stronger copyright laws; its chief opponents are therefore libraries and consumer organizations.
The present head of the AAP is former Colorado Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder.
