How to Get Published (Professional Papers)
http://tinyurl.com/g62bv How to Get Published (Professional Papers, research,articles) Many librarian authors find that depositing work in online open-access (OA) LIS archives complements writing for LIS journals. While a number of academic institutions offer space for faculty to self-archive their work (and some even require it), librarian authors should also consider self-archiving their articles, presentations, and other work in a subject-specific cross-institutional archive. These broader services offer a number of advantages, and strong archives also help increase the visibility and accessibility of the library literature -- a plus for the profession as a whole. |

Understanding Publisher Royalties
http://www.publishondemand.net/article.asp?ArticleID=3 Understanding Publisher Royalties If you are publishing with a POD (Publish on Demand) publisher solely to see your name in print, royalties are of little concern to you. For the other authors reading this site, royalties should be one of your primary concerns when considering which POD publisher to publish with. Understanding how their royalty system works is the first step to understanding how many copies of your book it will take to break even. Each publisher seems to have a different way of phrasing their royalty payments and a different way of calculating your royalty payment. With several hundred dollars on average for setup fees, knowing how much money you can expect to make will help you make your decision whether or not to publish with a Print on Demand firm and how many copies you will need to sell. |
