Copyright licensing solutions provider Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), US, has announced that the American Physical Society (APS) has selected Rightslink to power its expanded author services programme. Rightslink is an online service from CCC that provides a content licensing solution for publishers.
APS has been producing journals since 1913, when they took over the operation of the Physical Review (founded in Cornell University in 1893). The Society currently publishes over 18,000 articles per year in nine different journals, covering all disciplines of physics and areas of study. APS has chosen Rightslink to automate their author services programme. This will enable APS to provide their authors with optimum service through the ability to easily order reprints and manage publication fees, while providing APS with better management control.
APS and CCC have established a close collaboration while implementing a robust Application Program Interface (API) between their systems that enables APS to remain in control of their business rules and the ability to rapidly introduce new services offered by Rightslink.
APS joins a number of other publishers who have chosen Rightslink to manage, systematise and better monetise their author services programmes. Rightslink is a proven solution used by publishers around the world to easily license and sell their content online to authors and other customers of all types. Earlier last month, STM publisher Springer expanded its implementation of Rightslink on the Springer online platform, springerlink.com. The global publisher has been using Rightslink successfully since 2007 to instantly license customer requests to reuse content from its 2,000 journals.
