Melanie Schaffner, Director of Communication, Marketing, and Engagement at Project MUSE and friend to so many of you in our scholarly communication community passed away peacefully at her home on July 5, 2024. In her final days, she shared that she was grateful for the full life she led, both personally and in her 27 years of work and dedication to Project MUSE and Johns Hopkins University Press.
As of January 2024, the number of participating publishers has reached 24 publishers representing 88 journals and is still growing. Project MUSE will be one of the largest S2O programs in non-profit humanities and social sciences scholarly publishing.
