Open Scholarly Publishing Solutions

We’ve pioneered a simple approach – creating solutions together. It means we work together as a community to explore the issues and find solutions that make things better for all.

The State of Scholarly Metadata Interactive Report

CCC and Media Growth Strategies undertook a thorough examination of metadata management across the research lifecycle. Drawn directly from research interviews, we created an interactive, visual report that depicts the significant economic and social impact that a fragmented metadata supply chain has on researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers on the journey to Open Access and beyond; and highlights some exciting initiatives showing that progress is underway to improve metadata management.

The last few years have been full of change for the scholarly publishing community. We’ve seen the advancement of transformative institutional agreements through Plan S, the Nelson Memo and other mandates and the embrace of open science and open data initiatives.

Constant change, continuous innovation. Through partnerships, integrations, and support of cross-stakeholder initiatives in the CCC Scholarly Communications Suite, we support Open Access (OA) fundingdeal modeling, and APC and OA agreement management workflows that serve everyone in the community — publishers, institutions, funders, and authors. We’ve been an active partner in the evolution of hybrid and pure OA publishing models, working with publishers to put the author and institution experience first, and manage shared infrastructure in a scalable and sustainable way.
