ChronosHub and Tampere University have announced a collaboration to guide authors through the publishing process, making funder policies and open access (OA) agreements transparent and automating the management of article processing charges (APCs).
As the first institution in Finland, Tampere University takes its OA management to the forefront by leveraging the ChronosHub platform. The platform supports an automated APC funding approval workflow by combining integrations with publishers, and AI-powered scanning of author-submitted acceptance letters and APC invoices. This provides Tampere with a single approval dashboard covering all articles across all publishers, with automated funding eligibility checks and full insights into its APC expenditure.
The collaboration also includes support for the specific JUFO-ranking in Finland and the federative authentication service, Haka, as well as integration with Tampere’s current research information system (CRIS), Pure, from Elsevier. This ensures that all data on Tampere’s researchers and affiliations are automatically kept up to date on ChronosHub and lays the foundation for automating repository deposits.
