Do We Need the UP?
A New Model for Scholarly Publishing in History

This article argues that the convergence of three trends will transform academic publishing in the humanities: the growth of new kinds of academic communities of interest on the internet (topically specific email discussion lists); second, the increasing inefficiencies of academic print publishers; and third, the emergence of new computer-aided publishing tools that permit scholars and scholarly communities to produce and distribute their own work. I propose that the email discussion lists, incorporated as scholarly organizations, should evaluate scholarly work and publish it on the internet for the use of their members. After this initial distribution, university presses would be given the opportunity to publish selected items for a larger audience.
