… Scholars should be able to (SSBAT):

• outline the social, economic, and institutional factors that determine who is able to engage with their scholarship
• analyze the ways in which the policies and practices that surround them may contribute to systemic inequality and white supremacy
• describe the potential for others to rehost or reuse the primary-source scans of the texts they work with
• provide citations for primary sources in ways that reduce barriers to entry for other readers
• assess policies related to article-sharing, preprint publication, postprint publication, and self-archiving of scholarly work and take this information into account when they submit articles to journals
• advocate for policy changes that reduce barriers to access to scholarship and education in our disciplines
• describe how a student or colleague might gain access to paywalled secondary sources without an institutional affiliation
• identify the ways in which a specific scholarly or educational platform might allow third parties to use data from readers without their informed consent
• compose a handout or in-class statement explaining what student data instructors and institutions have access to, how each party uses it, and how to opt out of data collection
• create an assignment prompt that addresses students as co-participants in the process of knowledge creation
