Licensing solutions provider Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), US, has announced that Cambridge University Press has selected CCC's RightsLink for Open Access to manage Article Processing Charges (APCs) for its Open Access publications.
CCC has been helping publishers improve the author experience in collecting APCs for over six years and welcomes efforts toward standardisation and transparency. It recently joined the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), working with its members on issues such as collecting Article Processing Charges (APCs) and Open Access-aware licensing. The not-for-profit, named one of '10 to Watch' by information industry analyst Outsell in its 2013 Open Access Market Report, recently endorsed the Research Information Network's call for cooperation among funders, universities and publishers.
CCC hosts webinars and podcasts on many aspects of Open Access and, as part of its non-profit mission, works with organisations such as the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) on creating standards related to Open Access.
