Väljaandmisel

Väljaandmisel is an Estonian term used in publishing and bibliographic contexts to indicate that a work is currently in the process of being published. It derives from the verb välja andma, meaning “to publish,” and from the noun form väljaandmine, meaning “publication.” The ending -misel marks a grammatical case used to express “in the course of” or “during,” giving the sense of ongoing activity. In practice, väljaandmisel is employed in catalog records, publishing contracts, and media notices to denote the status of forthcoming works, such as books, journals, or reports.

Usage notes and meaning: the phrase is typically used to describe a work that has been announced or prepared for release but has not yet appeared publicly. It is often translated into English as “in publication” or “in the process of publication.” In Estonian, it can appear in constructions such as teose väljaandmisel (the publication of the work in progress) or the work’s status in bibliographic metadata.

Related terms include väljaandja (publisher), väljaanne (edition or publication), and välidjaandmine (the act of publishing). These terms are commonly encountered in library catalogs, publishing industry discourse, and formal documentation regarding the release of written works.
