Licensing solutions provider Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), US, has been named one of '10 to Watch' in Outsell's first Open Access Market Report.
CCC provides solutions to help publishers manage variable Open Access models through its RightsLink platform, which supports unique pricing rules, licenses and messaging for Open Access journals to encourage compliance with funding agency requirements. It was the only company named in the report that functions as an intermediary for collection of article processing charges (APCs) between publishers, authors and institutions.
For 30 years CCC has been creating rights licensing solutions to help rightsholders optimize royalties for content, extending their reach into global corporate and academic markets and providing tools to manage their permissions business more efficiently. Using RightsLink, an easy-to-use licensing solution, publishers can offer permissions at the point-of-content, whether on a website, through a mobile application or in the hands of a third-party aggregator.
