TextRelease reviews Cooperative Publishing Agreement

Publishing Research Quarterly (PRQ) has recently been acquired by Springer. This journal was formerly owned by Transaction Periodicals Consortium and TextRelease had a Cooperative Publishing Agreement with them. The agreement ensured that a selection of papers originating in the International Conference Series on Grey Literature would annually appear in the spring issue of that journal. Over the past four years (2004-2007), almost a quarter of the content of PRQ originated in the GL-Conference Series.

With the change in ownership of PRQ, TextRelease is reviewing the Cooperative Publishing Agreement and has chosen to renegotiate with a journal publisher that would be willing to act as a sponsor to the GL-Conference Series. Dominic Farace, Director TextRelease, contends that “A new Cooperative Publishing Agreement should be with a publishing house, which maintains a visible presence in the international grey literature community.”
