Overview

Rightslink was developed to address the licensing needs of you and your customers.

With Rightslink, you can enhance existing revenue streams and create new ones by monetizing the value of your content. Rightslink provides your customers with a quick and easy way to get permission to reuse content, order reprints and purchase published works from wherever the content resides. Rightslink processes the entire transaction without the customer ever leaving the point of content.

Rightslink also includes real-time Publisher Reporting to help you understand what content is being licensed, by whom and in what format. This information is useful in understanding buyer behavior and creating effective marketing programs. In addition, Rightslink Workflow Management integrates your vendors/partners into your operational processes and provides a comprehensive view into customer orders.

Rightslink Capabilities

Rightslink integrates seamlessly with your online content. The Rightslink reprints and permissions link can be easily placed anywhere your content resides. Whether it's on your corporate Web site, an archived server or hosted by a third-party aggregator, customers place their orders without ever leaving the point of content. Rightslink receives the content Meta data and populates the Rightslink application automatically, including the publication's logo and title, the article title, date and author, to extend your brand to printed and online reprints.

Rightslink is highly customizable and aligns easily with your business processes. The Rightslink development team works with you to tailor the application to match your company's unique licensing requirements. Then we work together to create custom messaging that reflects your licensing, reprint options, terms and conditions and prices. If you require functionally not currently in Rightslink, our developers will explore these new capabilities with you.

Rightslink automates the entire licensing process for you. Customers click on the reprints and permissions link and Rightslink handles each step of the business process — order and billing, fulfillment, reporting and workflow, accounting and delivery of royalties to publishers — while mapping to your established business rules.

Rightslink partners with leading reprint service providers, hosting services and aggregators to offer a complete reprint solution. Rightslink is vendor-neutral and can be customized to work with your preferred vendors and business partners. We also have existing relationships with some of the industry's leading reprint service providers, content archiving/hosting services companies and aggregators, including HighWire, ProQuest and Sheridan Press.

Rightslink's publisher tools provide easy access to order and tracking information. Rightslink Publisher Reporting provides in-depth, real-time data on all order activity. And Rightslink Workflow gives you, your printers and other vendors access to customer order details to ensure that reprint transactions are completed and expedited accurately.

Rightslink is a highly secure e-commerce application. Rightslink supports credit card and purchase order transactions managed through VeriSign's 128-bit SSL encrypted e-commerce solution.
