Supplemental materials for "A Study of Direct Author Subvention For Publishing Humanities Books at Two Universities"

These spreadsheets provide supplemental information to accompany the results of an investigation conducted at Indiana University and the University of Michigan during the first half of calendar year 2015. Supported by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the specific aim of the study was to explore how a potential “subvention” system of funding in which universities and colleges paid the costs of producing humanities monographs (rather than expecting publishers to recoup their costs from consumer payments) could work at two major research universities. The possibility of such a subvention system has been recently advocated for by the American Association of Universities and the Association of Research Libraries and is the subject of a collection of research projects funded by the Mellon Foundation.
