Lifting the administrative burden of article processing charges
Open access publishing is gaining momentum, with growing adoption by institutions and publishers. At the same time, it has also become increasingly complex for libraries to manage open access, especially article processing charges (APC).
The joint paper by Ex Libris, Part of Clarivate, and Knowledge Unlatched provides insights into the current APC workflows challenges and the potential way forward.
"The key is providing a single interface for the entire APC process, streamlining communication and payments, with greater visibility for all stakeholders. This would provide more control over the workflow, a unified view, and better reporting."
