PISCATAWAY, N.J., July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- IEEE, the world's largest technical professional association, has announced an expanded partnership with Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a not-for-profit organization and leading provider of licensing solutions, to automate permissions, reprints and author services for all of its publications.

IEEE publishes more than 150 journals and 1,000 conference proceedings titles each year and maintains over 3,400 technical standards. This agreement makes it easier to request permission to license and reuse IEEE information for a variety of purposes including research papers, textbooks and presentations.

CCC automates the permissions process through RightsLink, a sophisticated licensing engine that provides IEEE users with advanced levels of pricing flexibility and licensing options.

Details of the new expansion and services include:

Access to thousands more IEEE journals, conference proceedings and standards
More flexibility in permission requests, including the ability to reuse a specific figure or graph, a particular section of an article or the complete IEEE paper
The ability to obtain a price quote in advance by using the "quick price" button
The ability to request permission to translate articles into one or more languages
An improved and faster user experience
The benefit for IEEE members of only paying a handling fee directly to the CCC when they seek permission to reuse content in any paper they are publishing

Beginning 15 July, users will see many more links to the CCC for reuse permission requests from the IEEE Xplore® digital library, the online delivery platform for IEEE information.
