International Publishing Partnerships

Abstract

ABSTRACT A few scholarly publishers have entered into international partnerships, which have introduced efficiencies in the acquisition, production, and distribution of a joint list while extending the global reach of their publications. This session featured editors instrumental in establishing two of these rare transatlantic publishing arrangements: that between the Medieval Institute Publications (MIP), a university press located at Western Michigan University, and De Gruyter, an independent publisher headquartered in Berlin; and that of Clemson University Press and Liverpool University Press. Case studies of each partnership explore the benefits of international collaboration, the challenges that arise from it, and, ultimately, how transatlantic partnerships impact scholarly publishing.
