Open Access Talk am 28. Juli 2022 - Musterverträge für Kollaborationen auf Augenhöhe

From Google's English:  "Publication contracts currently only rarely represent collaborations between partners on an equal footing. The market power of individual publishers is supported by the obligation to publish, little legal knowledge among scientists, a lack of standards and non-transparent publishing services. The AuROA project tries to act as a corrective here.

The modular model contracts developed by AuROA are intended to contribute to equal, collaboration-driven scientific practice. The contracts are intended to enable fairly active, often smaller publishers as well as scholar-led initiatives that do not have their own legal department to work fairly with authors. They are also intended to take a critical look at the current hierarchies in publication contracts - as independent references for authors, advice centers and the multitude of other actors in the Open Access transformation. Quality standards for publications are also being discussed as part of the project. The project focuses on book publications in the German-language humanities and social sciences."
