The staff in University Publications includes editors, graphic designers, and production experts. The office staff maintains editorial style and graphic standards, including use of the Ohio University logo and seal, for all publications.

• Publication and marketing consultation
• Copy editing and proofreading
• Typesetting and composition
• Assistance in obtaining photography or custom artwork
• Graphic design and layout
• Printing coordination with the Ohio University Printing Resources Center or commercial vendor (if applicable)

The following types of materials are not produced by University Publications:

• Books; chapters; and such scholarly publications as proposals, journals, monographs, and conference proceedings
• Publications by students, for students, paid for with student funds
• News releases or other media communications
• Memorandums, letters, or other personally signed communications
• Resumes, theses, dissertations, and other personal printing or publications
• Publications that are not charged to a university account

Assistance in producing these types of publications can be received at the university’s Printing Resources Center (PRC). For more information, call PRC at 740-593-1930.

Once content, quantity, and design elements are determined, an estimated printing cost can be obtained. Such an estimate is not a guarantee, however, since specifications used in determining an estimate are subject to change throughout the production process.

Editorial and design services are provided at a nominal fee to University offices and departments. The fee schedule is based on the final size of your publication and are as follows:

• Minimum production fee: $50
• Tri- or quad-fold (fits in #10 envelope/single sheet): $75
• Single-sheet tabloid or gatefold (folds to 8.5 x 11 or similar size), or poster: $100
• Booklet (5.5 x 8.5) or pamphlet (#10 size) with multiple pages: $150
• Newsletter or Brochure (multiple pages): $200

Included in this fee are two complete sets of proofs with client revisions. Additional sets of proofs will be charged at a per page price of $1 for 8.5 x 11 proofs and $2 for 11 x 17 proofs. Your job will also be burned to a CD and archived in University Publications for future use (reprints, revisions, etc.). Depending on the extent of the revisions, you will not be charged a design fee. You will, however, be charged for proofs at the per page rate stated above.

University Publications retains usage rights and ownership of all artwork produced on behalf of its clients, unless negotiated prior to the start of production or supplied by the client. Clients that wish to retain ownership of their artwork will be charged a commercial rate.
