The report addresses: author management, streamlining the APC process, copyright and licensing, management and billing of APCs, standards and interoperability, and reporting and compliance. It also provides some case studies. The conclusion of the report is: “The current approach to APC management is highly fragmented and undermined by differences of approach between nations and academic disciplines, inefficiencies in process and scarcity of resources. Opportunities exist to overcome many of these issues through improvements in data-sharing and development of common identifiers and vocabularies, but these must be placed in the context of broader trends and continuing uncertainties over the future of academic publishing.” In response to a question about the tie-in with the CCC, a spokesperson for the CCC noted: “Open access presents a new business model in publishing, which is where Copyright Clearance Center comes in. Since the publishing community faces more complexities as open access grows, RightsLink for Open Access provides publishers, authors and institutions with a platform that streamlines the author fee transaction.
