Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC) has announced that the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society and a leading source of authoritative scientific information, has significantly expanded its investment in the RightsLink Author platform with the addition of OA Agreement Manager.
With OA Agreement Manager, ACS gains the ability to streamline and automate OA funding requests and consortia deals using manuscript and agreement metadata. For ACS, a particular draw has been the OA Agreement Manager's ability to handle subscription offsets, sometimes referred to as APC tokens or waivers. Supporting many different types of offsetting arrangements, the OA Agreement Manager makes it possible for publishers to honour their institutional agreements and minimize work for all stakeholders. The scalability of the CCC solution will help ACS drive down administrative costs for all stakeholders while supporting its customers through new open access business models.
OA Manager provides institutions and funders with early notifications of accepted manuscripts and an online dashboard enriched with information necessary for prompt approval of funding requests, increasing awareness throughout the publication lifecycle. Authors benefit directly from an automated, rules-driven workflow that removes common obstacles related to their funders' licensing, billing and tax requirements. Additionally, single-source, detailed reporting increases transparency for all parties.
