Copyright Clearance Center has announced its expanded partnership with De Gruyter for RightsLink Author. De Gruyter will be using RightsLink to manage its Read and Publish deals with a variety of consortia. De Gruyter is also adding 300 more journals on RightsLink Author. These join the open access journals in Poland which were launched on the RightsLink Author platform last year.
Read and Publish is an agreement that incorporates elements of a traditional subscription purchase and open access to scholarly articles. De Gruyter has agreements that cover OA publishing with consortia in Europe including the UKB (Netherlands), Bibsam (Sweden), Jisc (UK) and the recently signed Read and Publish agreement with the Iowa State University Library, the first of its kind for De Gruyter in North America.
RightsLink Author offers publishers access to the software infrastructure and staff expertise needed to simplify the collection and management of publication charges. RightsLink Author also streamlines and automates open access funding requests.
