Textbook Development Call for Textbook Manuscripts
Model for low to no cost Textbook development with UPNG • Solicit Proposals (mailing, conferencing): UPNG issues a call for textbook manuscript. • Submissions/proposals in academic journals and through hard copy mailings. UPNG then reviews and selects the highest quality proposal , both in terms of authorship and content. Proposals include 3 units/chapters, outline of entire textbook, audience, and competitors. • Profit & Loss Analysis: UPNG determines if there is adequate demand for the textbook. • UPNG develops Contract or MOA with author: Includes milestones, deadlines. • UPNG contracts with the author(s), setting deadline for submitting completed author generated materials. • Editorial Review: UPNG edits the manuscript content in order to prepare it for publication, comprehensively considering all writing elements and requesting substance/content revisions from the author when necessary. Includes instructional design components (outlines, questions, etc.); This process can begin as content is received, if the submissions are stepped. • Peer Review (External, Blind): UPNG submits the manuscript to at least two scholars in the textbook's field/discipline for them to give it a blind (objective) review, thus ensuring it makes a real contribution to its field.
Copyediting: UPNG improves the formatting, style, and accuracy of the manuscript, preparing it for publication. • Production & Design: UPNG visually synthesizes and formats the manuscript's style and content into a coherent whole. • Indexing: UPNG analyzes the text and identifies in it significant concepts and ideas, organizing them alphabetically and through locatable markers/headings so that readers can find them efficiently. • Proofing: UPNG detects and corrects any errors in the print-ready galley proof and pdf of the text. • Conversion: Programming to convert document to different formats (ePub, etc.). • ISBN: the international standard book number uniquely identifies the textbook to allow for more efficient marketing. • Distribution: upload to usgpcs and online repositories; print copies through bookstore, UPNG website, Amazon.com • Creation of Ancillaries. • Post publication review.
US History I Open Textbook Project Workflow Create Textbook Proposal • UPNG staff and USG Office of Faculty Development (OFD) staff work with faculty to create textbook proposal • UPNG reviews proposal • Return to OFD as approved or rejected • OFD works with authors to get final version Content Development • Faculty authors write content • Authors will use templates and agreed upon criteria for formatting content • Authors send content to OFD for Instructional Design (ID) review ID Review • OFD reviews content for instructional design components and agreed upon standards for content • Authors edit content as needed to meet agreed upon criteria • OFD sends approved draft content to UPNG Editorial Review • UPNG staff review content and work with authors to achieve approved draft • UPNG stores final approved draft and sends copy to OFD
Production (Layout and Design) • As final draft chapters get approval from OFD, UPNG will begin layout and design, implementing any additional “add-ons” (images, feature boxes, etc) to text. • Back to OFD and faculty for final review of formatting- Comments on layout only Peer Review (6-8 weeks per chapter) • UPNG staff will send out manuscript through appropriate channels for peer review. • Back to faculty for content revisions based on feedback from peer reviewers • Back to UPNG or ID for style or instructional design revisions Final Production • Proof to OFD • Create multiple versions of digital copy • Store digital copy and distribute link to multiple outlets • Distribute print copies as needed Marketing • Distribute print copy for institutions, eCore faculty, others • Conduct seminars, workshops, other marketing activities with faculty and OFD staff
