  12. OA Workflow Standards • OAK is ORCID ready • Fundref • Repository Identifiers • We are working with all parties to establish a standard metadata record captured with the transaction/billing record • We are working with all parties to define and refine operational workflows

  13. Cradle to Grave Billing • Modular Functionality • Transaction administration Source> Comedy Pick N Mix, by Laura Forde www.offwestend.com

  14. Linking to publishers • Created a standard api feed • this can interact with production systems, publisher manuscript management databases • api ties in at the points of minimal disruption for the publisher • api pulls article metadata, pushes payment/transaction status and analysis

  15. Huge flexibility • We created a system to service non/subscription payments / apc’s, reprints, colour charges, page charges • Discounting • Structured - eg 10% Membership, Ed board member • Adhoc – marketing flyers at conferences • Workflow options • With or without author interaction • Split payments
