Case Study: Bioscientifica streamlines open-access author invoicing with CCC's RightsLink for Scientific Communications

Bioscientifica triples author payments income with Copyright Clearance Center

Bioscientifica, a publisher of medical journals, faced the challenge of transitioning its payment model to Open Access while managing a growing number of publications. They needed a system to charge author fees efficiently instead of relying on traditional subscriptions. Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) provided the solution with its RightsLink for Scientific Communications service.

By implementing CCC's RightsLink, Bioscientifica automated author invoicing and agreement workflows. This allowed the publisher's editorial staff to focus on content quality. The solution from Copyright Clearance Center led to a tripling of open-access article income, a decrease in bad-debt rates, and streamlined the publishing process for authors during a significant period of growth.
