ECS selects CCC’s RightsLink platform to handle APCs for open access publications -

Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a firm dedicated to creating global licensing and content solutions that make copyright work, has announced that ECS(The Electrochemical Society) has chosen to manage Article Processing Charges (APCs) for its Open Access publications using CCC's RightsLink® platform from within its implementation of the EJPress online manuscript submission and peer review system.

RightsLink streamlines the entire author free transaction for Open Access charges, page charges, colour charges, and more, giving publishers an author-centric workflow powered by a robust pricing, discount and collections engine. For over a decade, publishers of all sizes have depended on RightsLink's powerful transactional service to facilitate permissions requests for copyrighted articles, images, mobile and new media content right from their websites.

EJPress (Patent #7,620,555B1) was developed by eJournalPress, which provides hand tailored software through continuous innovation and individualised customer support solutions in an effort to promote science and scholarly publishing.

CCC recently announced that publishers can offer physical reprints and ePrints to their authors directly through RightsLink via a partnership with Sheridan. The platform can support author reprints for any article the publisher chooses to make available.

As part of its commitment to education, CCC regularly updates its Open Access Resource Center in collaboration with the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP). The Center is a curated set of links to the latest Open Access news, reports, industry whitepapers, webinars and websites.
