Hi all,
I can offer some thoughts. Note that I am not on this list serv so I can’t see if others have already responded.
I haven’t seen clear standards, but BCcampus usually lists adapting authors as co-authors or contributors. However, the current BCcampus cover designs don’t include author names at all.
In the case like Erin described where edits were quite minimal, it might be more appropriate to add something like the following to on the cover page, “Adapted by [instructor’s name].”
The existing cover page looks good!

Subject: [Bcoelsteering] How to Deal with Author, Adapter, Contributor in Open Texts
Hello All,
So, I'm running into an issue when developing open textbook adaption projects with faculty. Is there any standard for how to attribute author vs. adapter when creating an open textbook cover. For example, a faculty
member has a adapted an open text but hasn't written and\y significant changes, etc. to warrant the text being a full new edition. His work however needs to be recognized. How do you do this on the front cover of a text?
Here is the example for context: https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/socialpsychben/
Any ideas are welcome.
Erin
