The Intellectual Property and Science business of Thomson Reuters has announced a collaboration with Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), a global licensing and content solutions organisation, to streamline the Open Access publishing workflow with an integrated solution for article processing charges (APCs) through ScholarOne Manuscripts, the premier journal and peer review tool for scholarly publishers and societies.
CCC's RightsLink for Open Access will integrate into ScholarOne Manuscripts, providing authors with a secure, end-to-end solution for Open Access article submission and peer review, including the management of APCs. Historically, APC fee processing has been a cumbersome, manual and costly part of the Open Access publishing process.
ScholarOne Manuscripts is an innovative peer-review and online submission platform for scholarly publishers. It offers publishers the ability to balance the need for comprehensive information gathering and workflow management with an author's desire to quickly submit an article. ScholarOne Manuscripts integrates submission, correspondence, review, reporting and user management within one intuitive platform.
RightsLink for Open Access streamlines the entire author fee transaction by seamlessly integrating with editorial and production workflows. Open Access charges, page charges, colour charges – at every step, RightsLink ensures that critical research gets published as quickly as possible.
