Moderated by Jennifer Howard of the Chronicle of Higher Education, this 
panel will highlight three exemplary collaborative scholarly publishing 
projects. Ms. Howard will be joined by Barbara Kline Pope, 
Executive Director for Communications at National Academies Press and 
AAUP President, Peter Dougherty, Director of Princeton University Press, 
and Ron Chrisman, Director of the University of North Texas Press to 
discuss the projects they spearheaded for their respective presses.

These three projects illustrate some of the best work being produced in 
publishing today and open the door to talk about other collaborations 
within science and the humanities.
 
• Princeton University Press and Caltech’s Einstein Papers Project 
provides the first complete picture of Albert Einstein’s massive written 
legacy. "Digital Einstein," scheduled to launch this December, is the 
next exciting step in this benchmark collaborative scholarly edition.
 
• National Academies Press’s Academy Scope is an innovative 
visualization of all of the reports that are available on NAP.edu, 
allowing readers to browse through the work of the National Academies by 
topic area and seeing relationships between titles.
 
• University of North Texas Press, University of North Texas 
Sub-Antarctic Biocultural Conservation Program, and University of 
Magallanes in Chile’s Magellanic Sub-Antarctic Ornithology project is 
the result of a decade of research conducted by scientists associated 
with the Omora Ethnobotanical Park in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve in 
Chile.
 
"Collaboration in Scholarly Publishing" is hosted as part of our 2014 
University Press Week celebrations. Because great minds don't think 
alike, but they do work well together!
