FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 17, 2024 — Kriyadocs is proud to announce its designation as a Certified Integrator for OA Switchboard, marking a significant step toward streamlining Open Access (OA) workflows for publishers and institutions. This collaboration empowers Kriyadocs to deliver more efficient OA metadata management and communication, fostering greater transparency and ease within the OA publishing ecosystem.
With over 20 years of experience in the publishing industry, Kriyadocs offers a comprehensive Unified Publishing Ecosystem (UPE) that simplifies workflows at every stage—from submission and peer review to production and the seamless delivery of content and metadata. Kriyadocs' UPE is further enhanced by a growing network of third-party integrations, called Kriyadocs Klicks, ensuring a streamlined and collaborative publishing process.
OA Switchboard, a mission-driven, community led initiative designed to simplify the sharing of information between stakeholders about OA publications, provides a standardised messaging protocol and shared infrastructure, ensuring trust, collaboration and efficiency.
As a Certified Integrator, Kriyadocs is recognised as a dependable partner, with a proven track record, to automate the delivery of P1 messages through OA Switchboard, notifying institutions, consortia and research funders upon the publication of an article’s Version of Record (VOR).
“We are delighted to become a Certified Integrator for OA Switchboard,” said Ravi Venkataramani, CEO of Kriyadocs. “This partnership underscores our commitment to advancing open access workflows and elevating the overall publishing experience for our clients. By integrating with OA Switchboard, we aim to facilitate smoother OA workflows and ensure that metadata exchange is handled efficiently and accurately.”
“Participating publishers have various options to connect to OA Switchboard to compose and send messages. A Certified Integrator is a party that technically integrates with the OA Switchboard API in the standard message structure on behalf of a publisher,” said Yvonne Campfens, Executive Director of OA Switchboard. “We are very pleased that Kriyadocs has successfully serviced their first two publishers and has now been awarded the certificate. It will open the door for more of their publisher clients to benefit from a smooth go-live on OA Switchboard and achieve workflow enhancement, fulfilment of OA publication-level arrangements, increase in the visibility of their publications, and integration with the increasingly complex open access research and publishing ecosystem.”
