Case Study: The Company of Biologists shortens publication timelines and scales its Read & Publish program with Copyright Clearance Center’s RightsLink and OA Intelligence

The Company of Biologists scales to 300+ Read & Publish agreements with Copyright Clearance Center

The Company of Biologists faced a growing administrative burden from manually collecting article processing charges and managing the complex, varying rules of institutional agreements as its open access publishing program expanded.

Copyright Clearance Center addressed this with its RightsLink for Scientific Communications solution, which streamlined APC collection and agreement management. This allowed The Company of Biologists to successfully scale its Read & Publish program to over 300 agreements with more than 1,000 institutions, shortening the publication timeline and reducing the administrative load. The vendor's OA Intelligence tool was later adopted to provide data analysis for strategic planning.
