Open Textbook Collaborative Reviews
Review an Open Textbook
The Open Textbook Collaborative (OTC) is looking for qualified textbook reviewers from New Jersey to review existing open textbooks and ancillary materials in the OTC Collection.
Application process
Faculty interested in reviewing an open textbook in the OTC Collection should download the application form. We ask that you provide your institutional email with the courses you have taught that are relevant to the textbook you would like to review, and that you consider adopting the reviewed textbook if you find its quality and contents are appropriate for your course. Once complete, email the form to Steve Chudnick and Robert Hilliker.
Selection process
We accept open textbook review applications from post-secondary instructors in New Jersey, who have teaching experience in the subject of the text they would like to review. This includes PhD candidates who have completed their qualifying exams and are involved in teaching.
Please note that in order to encourage a diversity of voices in the reviews, we limit the number of reviews to one per person.
Review process
If your application is accepted, we will set you up with the review form. You can preview the questions on the review form by downloading and filling out the OTC Reviewer Template & Rubric Form (CC-BY-NC) . You will have three months to write and submit your review to Steve Chudnick and Robert Hilliker.
All submitted reviews must be approved by the OTC to ensure they are complete and comprehensive. Once a review is approved, it will be published by the reviewed textbook in the OTC under a CC-BY-NC 4.0 license. The copyright for each review is owned by the reviewer.
An honorarium of $250 will be paid to eligible and qualified individuals who complete, submit, and permit the open publication of their review for a textbook or equivalent in the OTC Collection. For ancillary materials, such as quiz banks and lecture slides, the honorarium will be $100.
For more information, please contact Steve Chudnick and Robert Hilliker.
