The word is made up of 'neu' (new) and 'Erscheinung' (appearance/publication). So it literally describes something that newly appears or is published.
Die Buchhandlung hat ein ganzes Regal nur für Neuerscheinungen.
The bookstore has an entire shelf just for new releases.
You can tell from context whether the product (the book) or the process (the publication/release) is meant. A product can be 'kaufen' (bought) or 'lesen' (read), while the process 'stattfindet' (takes place) or 'angekündigt wird' (is announced).
Ich lese gerade eine spannende Neuerscheinung aus Schweden.

This meaning often refers to media products. Typical combinations are 'eine literarische Neuerscheinung' (a literary new release/book), 'eine musikalische Neuerscheinung' (a musical new release/album), or 'eine Neuerscheinung auf dem Spielemarkt' (a new release on the games market).
Alle Fans warten gespannt auf die Neuerscheinung des nächsten Films.

When the act of publication or release is meant, the word is often combined with verbs such as 'ankündigen' (to announce), 'feiern' (to celebrate), or 'verschieben' (to postpone). It describes the event itself.
Der Verlag feiert die Neuerscheinung mit einer großen Party.

expense / issue / output
'die Ausgabe' and 'die Neuerscheinung' can both be used to talk about books, magazines, or other published works. 'Ausgabe' means a specific version or issue, for example today's newspaper or a particular book edition. 'Neuerscheinung' emphasizes that a work has only just been published. Learners may confuse the words because a new edition can also be a new release. As a practical rule: when it is about the version, 'Ausgabe' fits better. When it is about something new on the market, 'Neuerscheinung' is more precise.
