A Global Audience . . . A Community of Experts
Encyclopædia Britannica offers a special outreach program for contributors and institutions looking for greater visibility. As part of this program, independent writers and members of a college, think tank, museum, academy, academic consortium, or graduate school are encouraged to contribute to Britannica in their areas of expertise, join Britannica’s stellar roster of contributors (which includes more than 110 Nobel Prize recipients and scores of Pulitzer Prize winners), and by doing so reach a large global audience. Likewise, companies and institutions with special assets such as videos, photographs, and primary documents, and which are looking for ways to expand their outreach, are encouraged to contribute as well. All articles and assets shared through this partnership will remain open to and freely accessible by the public. Encyclopædia Britannica is the oldest continuously revised and published general reference work in the world (1st Edition, 1768), and it has worked with the world’s premier institutions, scholars, and experts – from public servants, social leaders, and heads of state (including five U.S. presidents) to professional athletes and pioneering artists. Independent scholars, graduate students, as well as niche craftsmen and specialists of all kinds are welcome to contribute in their fields of expertise. The result for all contributors is publication with Britannica, whose websites reach millions of readers. Writers will also receive an author profile page at Britannica.com that is freely accessible to the public via any search engine and that contains the contributors’ biography and photo as well as links to their signed Britannica article(s) and to their personal and professional websites; the covers of their published books can also be displayed and linked to amazon.com to assist in sales. The benefit to all contributors, and to any affiliated institution, is wider exposure to a global audience amid a respected community of experts. For the institutions already participating in this program, see below. For more information on this program and how to join this alliance, contact Theodore Pappas at Encyclopædia Britannica.PARTNERS
