For you as publisher:

• Creating the infrastructure for a smooth and compliant author experience, e.g.

  • Querying funders and institutions before the author even has a chance to choose a license type

  • Support authors in their publication journey and help them find options to pay for the OA publication charges

• Secure OA funds to cover publication costs.

• Enhancements in your metadata, allowing analysis on your own publications and author base for the benefit of OA strategy and business model development.

• Integration with the increasingly complex OA research and publishing ecosystem, enabling the exchange of metadata with all relevant stakeholders.

• Improve the service level you offer institutional customers and research funders:

  • Allows your customers to access article-level metrics of all (OA) articles published, when, where and how they need it

  • Automated sharing (alerts) of OA publication metadata

  • Standardised OA publication reporting

  • Monitor and report on deal compliance

  • Growing relationships with libraries, consortia and funders, sharing knowledge and streamlining communications

• Drive visibility on your ('diamond' and S2O) publications with institutional and funder stakeholders.
