Scholarly publisher Brill has chosen the RightsLink for Open Access platform from Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a global licensing and content solutions organisation, to manage Article Processing Charges (APCs) for its recently launched, international Open Access journals: Brill Open Biology, Brill Open Humanities, Brill Open Law, and Brill Open Social Sciences.
Brill Open offers authors the choice to make research freely accessible online in exchange for a publication charge to comply with funding mandates or university requirements. Brill is committed to offering authors multiple Open Access models if they choose to publish in one of Brill's numerous book series or growing list of fully Open Access journals.
RightsLink for Open Access streamlines the entire author fee transaction for Open Access charges, page charges, colour charges, and more, giving publishers a robust pricing, discount and collections engine. Brill authors will be prompted to pay any charges due from within its editorial workflow since Brill is leveraging the deep integration between Aries Systems' Editorial Manager and RightsLink for Open Access.
As part of its commitment to education, CCC regularly updates its Open Access Resource Center, a collaboration with the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), which curates links to the latest Open Access news, reports, industry whitepapers, webinars and websites.
