CCC Hosts Discussion About OA Practices
Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) published a report announcing its findings from a roundtable discussion with U.K.-based institutions and U.K. and U.S. publishers about managing open access (OA) fees on a large scale. Attendees—including ACS (American Chemical Society), IEEE, UCL (University College London), and Jisc—talked about how vendors can expand their role in addressing challenges, make article processing charges (APCs) easier to manage, and work toward simplifying and standardizing OA processes.The report (“Making Open Access Work for Authors, Institutions and Publishers”) notes, “Many of these issues could be alleviated 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.” Source: Copyright Clearance Center
