Taken from 2020-21 Faculty Handbook: Chapter 9 - Faculty Development and Scholarly Activity Benefits Policy/H. Manuscript Costs: To encourage scholarly writing, the University will pay one-half of the cost of manuscript preparation, which is personally borne by the faculty member, up to the University contribution limit per article published in a recognized professional journal and up to the University contribution limit per book published by a professional, scholarly, or cultural organization. (See Chapter 6, Section K for the current University contribution for manuscript costs.) This benefit is intended to underwrite certain costs, which the faculty member would otherwise have to pay personally. It will be paid only if funds from grants or other sources are not available. This benefit does not apply to articles or books published commercially. Clerical assistance for the preparation of manuscripts is discussed in Chapter 16, Section B. Requests for this benefit should be directed to the dean of the faculty member’s college.
