Many faculty are interested in submitting to CUNY Academic Works, but may not have the time or resources to do so. Conducting a CV review also takes time, but studies have shown that mediating the process for faculty greatly increases submissions and engagement. A CV review consists of the following steps:

• Obtain a copy of the faculty member's CV or look at their online profile.
• Look up copyright policies for each publication, tracking the process using the CV Review template.
• If faculty member approves, contact publishers for permissions that aren't granted in the default policy. Be sure to note that you are contacting them on behalf of the faculty member.
• Faculty member completes submission agreement.
• Upload content after completing the previous steps.
