<p>The platform consists of a client-branded hosting environment and a set of value-added publishing services to help partner publishers expand their capabilities. For more information, <a href="/partner-with-us/">read about our partnership models and services</a>.</p>

<p>Fulcrum has been developed by a group of campus-based publishers working closely with disciplinary faculty and information science specialists who recognize the changing nature of scholarly publishing in the humanities and qualitative social sciences. Initial development has been supported by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and implemented by the University of Michigan Library and Press working with partners from Indiana, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Penn State universities.</p>

<h2 id="readers">For Readers</h2>
<p>Fulcrum provides the following advantages to readers/users:</p>

<ul>
<li>Flexibility: Scholarship published on Fulcrum is optimized for display on mobile and other devices. A strong commitment to <a href="https://fulcrum.org/accessibility">accessibility</a> for readers with disabilities translates into a passion for good digital design. Multimedia files and visualizations published on Fulcrum can be played natively within the platform or, where permission is available, downloaded for offline use.</li>
<li>Durability: No more link rot. Fulcrum exists to make sure that digital scholarship is curated in a stable environment that allows readers to cite work published online without fear of broken references. Ensuring clarity around intellectual property rights has been a focus of Fulcrum’s design, so it is always clear to users if a particular object can be downloaded and/or reused in their own scholarship and teaching.</li>
<li>Discoverability: Heard about a cool digital project and now unable to locate it through your library catalog? Scholarship published through Fulcrum is integrated into both traditional and emerging information supply chains.</li>
<li>Discoverability: Heard about a cool digital project and now unable to locate it through your library catalog? Scholarship published through Fulcrum is integrated into both traditional and emerging information supply chains. Information about usage and engagement illuminates the conversations happening among other readers.</li>
<li>Accessibility: Fulcrum is compatible with most screen readers and keyboard controls and also provides resources to support accessible books, image descriptions, transcripts for audio, captions for video, and alternative formats for digitized content.</li>
<li>Integrity: As an integral part of the University of Michigan Library, Fulcrum is committed to transparency in its commitments to privacy, accessibility, and preservation. We put the interests of the academy, rather than private owners or shareholders, first. Trust matters: While the publishers who use Fulcrum are ultimately responsible for the quality of individual works, we only work with publishers whose commitment to quality we trust.</li>

<li>Durability: Built on an open source university infrastructure dedicated to providing durable long-term stewardship for digital objects. Each item (an image, a video or audio file, a visualization) receives a permanent digital identifier that allows it to be securely cited. Settings related to reuse are controlled by the creator.</li>
<li>Discoverability: Through use of industry standards and relationships, ensures that digital scholarship is discoverable and that authors therefore receive metrics of impact and credit for their work, from download counts to Altmetric scores. Integration into the information supply chain ensures that content published on Fulcrum appears in library catalogs and other important user access points, addressing the “discoverability challenge” that besets much born digital scholarship.</li>
<li>Accessibility: As an author, you can describe visual resources to make your work more accessible, and let publishers and image rights holders know that accessibility is important to you.</li>
<li>Integrity: Transparency is at the core of how Fulcrum operates. The team will always be honest about the limitations of the platform as well as its capabilities. As part of the University of Michigan Library, we are committed to the long-term curation of your important work.</li>

<li>Discoverability: All objects are made discoverable using stable identifiers, allowing integration with information supply chain vendors and other partners such as Altmetric aggregators. Measurement of usage and impact is core to the platform’s design and the hosted service supports both access restricted and open access content.</li>
<li>Accessibility: Accessible content is the primary responsibility of each publisher and we can work with you to support and improve the accessibility of your content.</li>
<li>Integrity: Clear accounting for costs and no hidden fees are part of our commitment to fair business practices. We will always be transparent about the limitations of what the platform can achieve for your content as well as the many possibilities it offers.</li>
