From: "Hamaker, Charles" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2014 08:23:56 +0000 Dear Sandy, Personally I've written and had published over 75 articles, editorials and books chapters. One publication that ranks as peer reviewed and scholarly and that has provided a small honorarium is the Charleston Advisor \for peer reviewed articles I've written for them. However Pergamon (back when) Elsevier, Wiley, Haworth, ACRL, and I'm sure there some I've forgotten, did not provide any remuneration. American libraries, Information Today (Searcher Magazine) paid honoraria and the publishers of Information Today have a "revenue" portion in their contract. With the one exception noted above, Scholarly and academic publishers in my personal experience from my first publication in 1984 to more recently and in a large range of scholarly journals generally do not. I think the Information Today publications represent the only revenue sharing contracts I've signed. There of course have been several "prizes" and awards for my various publications, but those are not from income sharing agreements. My experience, from general discussions with other scholarly and academic authors are not to the best of my knowledge unique.

That was certainly not true at the two university presses at which I worked (and whose contracts I wrote), Princeton and Penn State. Sandy Thatcher
