Content owners

WE HELP WEBSITE OWNERS BY:

• Indexing your content with metadata and summaries, so that researchers, students, faculty, and professionals can find it, cite it and refer others to it.  

• Including your organization in a directory, so that these users can identify and learn about organizations relevant to their research and teaching.

• Building influential audiences and traffic for your website and the documents it contains.  We do this using high value content portals such as Policy Commons.  Each portal has tens of thousands of regular users, including major influencers, policy makers, parliamentarians, researchers and students.  

• Maintaining an archive of content, to be used only if the link to your website breaks.

WE HELP ORGANIZATIONS TO MONETIZE THEIR CONTENT:

• We license content from archives, trade and scholarly publishers, academic research centers, video and film companies, NGOs, think tanks, and government departments and agencies.  

• We digitize, index and publish content from:

• Think tanks, NGOs, IGOs, 

• Large publishers such as Wiley and Taylor & Francis

• Small publishers such as university presses 

• Video and film companies such as Villon Films

• Large archives such as the Library of Congress and The UK National Archives

• Small archives such as the History of Advertising Trust

• In 2024 our publishing partners earned over US $500,000 in royalties.  

WE HELP ORGANIZATIONS DISSEMINATE THEIR CONTENT OPENLY BY BUILDING CUSTOM PORTALS FOR THEM.

How do we select organizations for indexing and archiving?  We have subject-specific expert editors who select organizations and materials for inclusion by:

• Consulting leading directories that document such organizations

• Responding to requests from individual members of the Commons

• Conducting their own research

• Ensuring material is relevant for research, teaching, and advocacy

• Ensuring material is factually correct

• Paying particular attention to orphan materials from inactive organizations
