Interested in publication agreements, digital scholarship, or open access?
Give us your feedback on a Model Publishing Contract for Digital Scholarship
<https://www.modelpublishingcontract.org/>!

As authors incorporate an increasing number of digital tools and methods
into their work, and university presses pursue new opportunities to
maximize the impact of that scholarship in a networked environment, both
parties will need a publishing agreement that meets their needs.

With the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
<https://mellon.org/>, Emory University and the University of Michigan seek
to develop a model author-publisher contract and relevant addenda optimized
for the publication of long-form digital scholarship.

In order to ensure this contract meets the needs of a diverse group of
interested stakeholders (hello, DLF!), we have made draft versions of these
documents publicly available for comment
<https://www.modelpublishingcontract.org/> until February 15, 2017.

Feedback will be incorporated, and in Spring 2017 a final version of the
contract documents will be shared publicly and available for adoption,
reuse, and modification.
