Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a leader in advancing copyright, accelerating knowledge, and powering innovation, and the Web of Science Group’s ScholarOne, which provides comprehensive workflow management systems for scholarly journals, books, and conferences, have announced enhancements to the ScholarOne-RightsLink® Author integration.
The integration enables publishers to use the rich author, journal and manuscript metadata in ScholarOne to power the automated, data-driven RightsLink Author workflow for managing the collection and reporting of Article Processing Charges (APCs). With this update, ScholarOne users can now license CCC’s RightsLink Author Agreement Manager module to manage ‘read and publish’ and other transformative publishing agreements.
ScholarOne passes manuscript metadata to RightsLink Author at various stages in the production lifecycle to inform pricing and discounts and automatically prompt authors to pay the appropriate APCs. ScholarOne displays payment links and transaction status to authors throughout the ScholarOne workflow. ScholarOne publishers can leverage the integration with RightsLink Author to support hybrid and Gold Open Access journals, reflect agreements with single institutions or consortia, and implement existing and emerging agreements, whether partnership, read and publish, or transformative agreements.
RightsLink Author offers publishers of all sizes immediate access to the sophisticated software infrastructure and staff expertise needed to seamlessly automate the processing, invoicing, reporting, collection and management of publication charges. It delivers a shared platform with common workflows for authors and institutions across all RightsLink Author client publishers, giving authors an easy and familiar experience when processing APCs, regardless of publisher.
