I'm having a heck of a time finding the meaning of 宜伝... It's not in
any of my dictionaries and usage examples I've found online have been
a bit ambiguous. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Best,
Ben

Most likely a typo for or misread of 宣伝.

Depends on the context, anyway.

I suspect an OCR misreading of 宣伝.

*伝 actually does seem to exist in Chinese as a separate word (yún
"summon / propagate, transmit") but none of my dictionaries list it in
any compounds. The equivalent of the Japanese 宣伝 is 宣傳 / 宣传.

はっきりとは申せませんが、このページの「宜伝」は「宣伝」であろうものかと思われます。
I think you might be right. At first I thought that 宜伝 was an OCR error for 宣伝, but then I clicked on the main text to find the Japanese abstract, and found that it was indeed clearly 宜伝 in the PDF source.
I cannot explain the source of the error with any confidence, but perhaps the original of this document was typed on a Japanese typewriter, so the typist may have mistook the similar characters 宜 and 宣 on the keyboard and typed the wrong one.
That is all I can guess. From a meaning standpoint, I think 宣伝 is definitely meant in this document.

Alan, pardon my possible naivete, but do/did Japanese typewriters as
you describe really exist?
Thanks,

Yes, indeed. Here are some nice pictures of examples of them:

When I worked at a Japanese magazine, we would occasionally make trips to
the offices of the printer to check the galleys. Interestingly, the printer
still (ca. 1987) had a working example of a Japanese typewriter that an
experienced typist would use to produce certain jobs.
It was fascinating to watch her do her work. It took quite a bit of skill to
operate the machine.
If I recall correctly, they were putting in a Japanese-capable Linotype
typesetter at that time and the experienced Japanese typist was insisting
that they provide an input device that simulated the keyboard on the
Japanese typewriter. She did not want to be bothered to learn the "new" kana
to kanji conversion routine like that on a modern computer. I never found
out if they were able to scare up the special input device.
Times change.
