Summary:
"Emory University, in partnership with the University of Michigan, has received a grant of $73,500 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to create a model publishing contract for digital scholarship. Through a yearlong process of iterative drafting and community consultation, this project will develop a model author-publisher contract optimized for the publication of digital scholarship. The model contract will be made openly available along with ancillary legal documents, such as sample permission letters for authors to use with third-party rights holders."
