What changed

NZSA described its 2025 model-contract update. The text requires prior written consent for training uses and production elements such as covers, and proposes sharing training-license income.

RESEARCH NOTE

Only the year is verified; a 2025/11 URL path does not establish publication date. The template does not prove any publisher has signed it. Inconsistencies among author-warranty provisions are retained; it is not described as a uniform 5% policy.

Editorial research question

Editorial interpretation: an authors’ organisation incorporates control over AI training and publishing production into a negotiation template, distinct from award eligibility or blanket prohibition.

This is an editorial interpretation or question, separate from factual statements.
