9. Jisc APC Benefits for Publishers • Consolidated negotiations: • JISC Collections is the known negotiator for the same UK community for NESLi2 journal agreements, discounted APCs, datasets and ebook deals. • Consolidated publisher payments: • JISC Collections already organises payments between institutions and publishers and is a trusted party in this process. Publishers will gain the reach of more institutions that are using the same approach and depositing APC funds in the system. Publisher will raise their OA profile to UK-mandated institutions with funds for OA publishing.

10. Jisc APC Benefits for Publishers • Unique service: • No other service currently available offering the same level of support to publishers and institutions. The service supports and benefits OA publishing. • Improved cash flow: • JISC Collections will ensure regular and timely payments for all articles purchased by the institutions in the prior month or week and providing regular reports. This means we will be keeping track of revenues for the publisher rather than the publisher having to spend time chasing for payments. • Retain individual business rules: • The way we work with the publisher will mirror the current working practice the publisher has in place. Each publisher may have different preferences and we can manage these.

11. JiscAPC Benefits for Publishers • Retain existing membership accounts: • Institutions may have different rates related to memberships, already agreed, and these rates can continue. • Reduce time and cost of administration • Publishers are likely to reduce their overhead costs through using Jisc APC when outsourcing the APC payment collection and reporting process to JISC Collections. • Reduce expenditure on an in-house system • Jisc APC outputs can work with other in-house systems such as Sage, meaning the publishers doesn’t need to invest in a system to deal with this particular task. • Increased article submissions • An easy to use payment interface encourages increased submissions

12. Publisher Participation Agreement • An agreement between JISC Collections and the Publisher • Sets out obligations of each party • Institutions sign an Institutional Participation Agreement.
