| Publication | Australian Academy of the Humanities Publication Subsidies Donor: The Australian Academy of the Humanities offers funding to assist the publication of scholarly work. Eligibility: Scholars resident in Australia and working in the field of the Humanities (Philosophy and Religion, Literature and Philology, Linguistics, History, Prehistory, Archaeology, Classics, Visual Arts and Musicology). Fellows of the Academy are ineligible for awards. Preference will be given to scholars in the earlier stages of their careers, and who are not well placed to receive funding from other sources. If scholars wish to apply for a subsidy towards publication they must already have a publisher, obtain a statement of costs and submit the statement with a formal request for a subsidy to the Secretary of the Academy. Special Conditions: The Academy may seek from the publisher full copies of the readers’ reports on the manuscript and will require a copy of the typescript. It will not normally assist publications on which royalties are paid. Costs of research assistance, editorial work and the preparation of indexes are not subsidised under the scheme. If a subsidy is approved, it is normally paid when the book is in page-proof, and unless cause is shown will be withdrawn if the book is not published within three years of the approval of the request. The subsidy should be acknowledged either on or near the title page, and a copy of the book must be sent to the Academy for deposit in the library. Publication assistance is restricted to works by scholars normally resident in Australia. |
