Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) has announced the release of RightsLink for Scientific Communications, formerly RightsLink Author, which builds on a platform to help publishers model and support a variety of transformative agreements.
In building RightsLink for Scientific Communications, CCC worked closely with its customers, their OA stakeholders, and RightsLink partners to create a platform that meets current market needs and anticipates future requirements. RightsLink for Scientific Communications supports Read and Publish, Publish and Read, Pure Open Access, Deposit, Membership, and many more emerging transformative agreements.
The University of California and Cambridge University Press recently entered into a transformative agreement aiming towards an open access future for research. This agreement relies on RightsLink to codify the agreement terms, automate funding approval and provide reporting, dashboards and notifications to all parties. In addition, De Gruyter just announced expanded use of RightsLink to manage its Read and Publish deals.
CCC adheres to the rigorous PCI DSS standard version 3.2.1 and has achieved certification under the ISO 27001 standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). CCC has also completed its most recent SOC 2 (Type 2) audit with no exceptions and obtained recertification under both the EU-US Privacy Shield and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield.
