For publishers with open access journals, managing article processing charges (APC) has been a cumbersome, manual and costly part of the open access publishing process.
Copyright Clearance Center’s RightsLink® for open access streamlines the author fee transaction by integrating directly with editorial and production workflows, including ScholarOne manuscripts.
With this integration, authors submit their manuscript for a journal using a secure and simplified process within ScholarOne, and manage the APCs seamlessly in the workflow.
As open access publishing expands, well-defined processes enable researchers, publishers and funders to accelerate the pace of research in the future.
