ABSTRACT In the call for papers for this special issue, a lack of dialogue was noted between ‘archivists and literary scholars’. This article has arisen from a collaboration across that divide, between two individuals who between them embody multiple identities of archivist and publisher, archival and literary scholar. The purpose of this collaboration was to establish a common frame of reference which would encompass and give equal weight to the concerns and working contexts of both. To assist in this aim, both researchers agreed that neither the field of archives or of literary scholarship would be privileged. The focus in this study is on the relationship between the author and the editor within the academic publishing sector. With these parameters set as the starting point, research questions were drawn up from both perspectives to guide the project. These questions were, to some extent, addressed, but a more important outcome of the process was the development of a common frame of reference in which to continue the dialogue, through a broader and more abstract idea of the scholarly record and not just one of records as material resources for literary scholarship.

观察作者与编辑的关系：对话中的记录保存和文学学术研究

摘要 在为这个特刊征稿时，注意到“档案工作者和文学学者”之间缺乏对话。这篇文章源于跨越这一鸿沟的合作，在他们之间体现了档案管理员和出版商、档案和文学学者的多重身份的两个人之间的合作。此次合作的目的是建立一个共同的参考框架，该框架将包含并赋予双方的关注点和工作环境同等的权重。为了帮助实现这一目标，两位研究人员一致认为，无论是档案领域还是文学学术领域都不会享有特权。本研究的重点是学术出版界内作者与编辑之间的关系。以这些参数设置为起点，研究问题是从两个角度制定的，以指导该项目。这些问题在某种程度上得到了解决，但该过程的一个更重要的结果是建立了一个共同的参考框架，在这个框架中继续对话，通过对学术记录的更广泛和更抽象的想法，而不仅仅是一个记录作为文学学术的物质资源。
