APC Plus enables publishers to integrate optional research communication services into the APC payment workflow, supporting author visibility while maintaining operational simplicity.
As open access publishing grows, APC workflows have become efficient but narrowly focused on payment and compliance.
Publishers often face:
As a result, research impact efforts are often fragmented or deprioritized.
CACTUS approaches APC Plus as a workflow extension, not an add-on marketplace.
Authors can opt for services such as graphical abstracts, infographics, and videos at the time of APC payment to support post-publication visibility.
Publishers retain full control over which services are offered, how they are presented, and how they align with journal standards.
Services are delivered within defined turnaround times to align with journal production cycles and publication schedules.
APC Plus minimizes administrative overhead by embedding service selection into existing payment workflows rather than introducing parallel processes.
