ALPSP: at the heart of scholarly publishing: Turpin Distribution – Open Access Services

"Turpin Distribution is delighted to announce the introduction of its new Open Access service for managing Article Processing Charges (APCs). A major vendor in the journal fulfilment market for over 40 years Turpin has supported its scholarly publishing clients with new services as the journal market has evolved, embracing new technologies. The Turpin system can manage all the complex administration surrounding processing charges and payment collection including; single author; multiple authors with allocations; third party advanced payment reconciliation; and copyright status sharing to identify just some of the major servicing capabilities. All transactional information is reported back to the publisher via the Turpin Web Reports Portal providing up to date information 24/7. Lorna Summers, Managing Director of Turpin said 'I’m extremely pleased that we are able to continue supporting our client publishers with new services to meet the changing demands of the market. We are already working closely with our clients to provide solutions for the efficient management of Article Processing Charges (APCs). Turpin looks forward to assisting publishers in controlling their OA administrative burdens such as billing and reporting so clients can continue to focus on the creation and dissemination of intellectual property.'”
