Marketplace: A Year of Innovation to Meet Evolving Customer Needs

Marketplace has had a flurry of exciting new enhancements over the past year based on market needs and feedback from both publishers and customers. Let’s dive into what’s new and improved in the user-friendly ecommerce tool that makes it easy to get copyright permission, order content and article reprints, and manage all transactional purchases in one place. 

A Quick Overview of Marketplace

Marketplace is a self-service ecommerce site that enables anyone working in business, publishing, higher education, and other markets to quickly search, order, manage permissions, and purchase licenses to re-use content from the world’s leading titles in science, technology, medicine, humanities, news, business, finance, and more. Marketplace customers can also assemble academic course pack projects comprised of content, purchase single copies of articles and chapters, and request article Reprints/ePrints from thousands of publishers. The variety of services on Marketplace makes it a valuable resource for a wide range of users, and CCC is committed to expanding and growing the platform.  

Looking for Content?

Earlier this year, Marketplace introduced the ability to purchase a single copy of an article or book chapter and get immediate access, if the content is available. Customers now have flexible and convenient ways to view specific articles and chapters via download, eReader, or Adobe Digital Editions.  

A Fresh New Look and Enhanced Functionality

Our release in the spring ushered in a wave of enhancements, including a complete redesign of the homepage and exciting new features for the Medical Communications market. The modern user interface features sleek navigation and enhanced user-friendly elements that improve usability and the overall user experience. In addition, workflow improvements include revamped market options, with the introduction of a MedComms option, making it easier to select permissions to use copyrighted content for Medical Communications professionals.  

Easily View Open Access Creative Commons License Details

Our fall release brought another round of significant enhancements to Marketplace’s capabilities, including the ability to instantly view Open Access Creative Commons license details for articles and chapters right from your search results. Marketplace now displays Open Access license details within article/chapter search results for the uses a publisher makes available under a Creative Commons license. Applicable Open Access details show for Open Access articles and chapters, along with the license type and a link to Creative Commons for more information.  

You Asked for Them – MedComms Promotion Codes

The October release also introduced the ability to apply promotion codes to MedComms projects, if one is available from a publisher. You can now transact in Marketplace knowing you can leverage publisher incentives available in other CCC products.  

Stay tuned for even more features and additions to Marketplace in the coming year.
