With ChronosHub, what you need is what you get. The modular platform enables you to pick and choose between modules. Use the platform as an admin tool or provide authors the guidance they deserve. The choice is yours - we're here to help you deliver on your open access strategy.
Guide your researchers to select suitable journals for their manuscript submissions.
Make your researchers happy. And let them spend their time on research. This module will guide them through journal selection, make agreements visible, check funder policy compliance, and much more. Trust us, they'll love you for access to these features.
Automate your APC management.
If less manual work sounds good to you, this is the module for you! Through a largely automated AI-process, invoices get scanned, ingested, structured, and checked for funding eligibility. It ends up in one single approval dashboard for all publishers where you can easily decide if it should get paid or not. And don't worry - if you want, we'll handle the payment for you too.
Get on top of your publisher agreements.
Tired of spreadsheets? We got you - and all kinds of agreements. Monitor all agreements with all publishers in one place and keep track of your quotas and discount across your different cost centres (or internal org units). With this module, you can easily report on key data points with dynamic reports or our API - we'll even enrich meta-data for you automatically.
Automate your full-text deposits into your institutional repository or CRIS-systems.
Let us show you what we've got! Don't wait. Book a demo today and get a front-row seat. Our experts will guide you through every step of the process, so you can see for yourself how our platform can transform your business.
An important part of our vision is that our staff and students should thrive at Wits in that we drive innovation throughout the University, and excellence should underpin everything that we do. With ChronosHub, we have found the platform and partner we need to fulfill that promise seen to our publishing and reporting processes. Effective open access management is key to securing our researchers’ success in this rapidly evolving research ecosystem. It’ll save significant staff time, optimize our funding from the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), and keep our publishing expenditure under control.
