Abstrakt forlag

Abstrakt forlag AS is a Norwegian publishing house established in Oslo in 1998 by Einar Plyhn. It began as a small one-man operation but has since grown substantially, and it publishes non-fiction and academic books for universities and colleges, the business sector and public administration. Its main focus is academic publishing across all genres: textbooks, research monographs, reference works and anthologies. The publisher employs its own specialist editors drawn from research and teaching. The company's catalogue is dominated by scholarly and educational titles. Representative examples visible on its website include the seventh edition of Introduksjon til samfunnsvitenskapelig metode (Introduction to Social Science Methodology) by Asbjørn Johannessen, Per Arne Tufte and Line Christoffersen, released on 22 July 2021; Forskningsmetode for økonomisk-administrative fag (Research Methods for Business and Administrative Subjects); Vitnepsykologi 3.0 (Eyewitness Psychology 3.0) by Svein Magnussen; and the fifth edition of a guide to IBM SPSS Statistics. The list also includes historical and biographical works, such as a volume on the writer and public figure Gierløff, whose wide interests led him to write corporate and organizational histories and biographies of friends including Edvard Munch and Knut Hamsun. Abstrakt forlag operates primarily in the Norwegian language market and serves students, researchers and professionals. It is a private company, and no parent company or stock listing is indicated in the available sources. Its editorial identity is closely tied to updating and expanding established Norwegian textbooks, with recent editions incorporating digital alternatives and discussion of how artificial intelligence can be used in the research process.

Abstrakt forlag AS was established in Oslo in 1998 by Einar Plyhn. It started on a small scale as a one-man publishing house, but experienced strong growth over the following years. From the outset its purpose was to publish non-fiction and academic literature for universities and colleges, the business community and public administration. The company's core activity became academic publishing across a range of genres: textbooks, research monographs, reference works and anthologies. To support this, the publisher built an editorial team with specialist editors recruited from research and teaching backgrounds. Over time Abstrakt forlag developed a catalogue centred on Norwegian-language teaching and research titles, often revised and reissued in new editions. Examples include the seventh edition of Introduksjon til samfunnsvitenskapelig metode by Asbjørn Johannessen, Per Arne Tufte and Line Christoffersen, which was put on sale from 22 July 2021 and which expanded its qualitative-methods chapters with new examples, presented more digital alternatives and discussed the use of artificial intelligence in the research process, while its quantitative-methods chapters were revised with new data and examples and a fuller presentation of quantitative research designs. Other titles include Forskningsmetode for økonomisk-administrative fag, a broad introduction to research methods; Vitnepsykologi 3.0 by Svein Magnussen, a third edition updated in a field with high research activity; and a fifth edition of a guide to IBM SPSS Statistics. The list also extends to historical and biographical works, such as a volume based mainly on the selected writings of Gierløff, a figure with very broad interests who produced corporate and organizational histories and biographies of friends including Edvard Munch and Knut Hamsun, together with material on how others perceived his authorship and work. The available sources do not record later ownership changes, acquisitions or stock-market listings, and the company is described as a Norwegian publishing house based in Oslo.
