PUBLISHING & CONVERSION SERVICES
SciPris – Open Access
The only constant in the global move to Open Access is change. Current workflows and systems are not fit for purpose and do not provide the necessary scalability, configurability, interoperability and agility demanded by publishers, funders, institutions and authors. Business models continue to evolve, publishers’ systems are strained and the author experience is compromised. Today’s Open Access stakeholders require data driven cloud based solutions that benefit all stakeholders today and in the future.
Future-proof your OA with SciPris
The SciPrisTM platform was built on the premise that every publisher’s OA/APC program is unique, and, as such, Aptara’s approach is to standardize the core functionality relevant to most publishers while allowing each implementation to be customized. With SciPrisTM, publishers can connect with authors, institutes, and funders to accurately fast-track revenue collection and facilitate Creative Commons license selection.
