Hi Rachael,

 

I keep a folder whenever an author shares an agreement with me. I also keep notes on communication with the author and publisher, especially interested in tracking what is and isn’t working.

 

Michael, would a folder like the one Rachel is describing fit into the toolkit/knowledgebase you are talking about creating?

Subject: [SCCKG] Author Agreement Samples

All, 

 

Do you already have a shared folder of author agreements, kindly forwarded to you from any authors who may have actually downloaded them (unlikely)? 

 

Yes, all journals within a given publisher might theoretically have different agreements, and yes we can't keep something like that current because publishers update them all the time -- I don't care about any of that. I just want at least something that we could consult (in a shared folder) so that we don't usually have to reinvent the wheel in advising scholars or preparing presentations if we're curious about what a "standard" agreement or what a typical Wiley or Cambridge agreement sometimes provides.

 

If you don't already have a shared folder for all of this, I could start one and start populating it with a few agreements. 

 

Thanks,
Rachael
