Comments on workflows
 EDP Sciences has set up an automatic capture eligible articles. This automatic capture works quite well and corresponding authors seem to be satisfied. Once accepted, the corresponding authors of eligible articles receive an email informing them that due to the national open access agreement in France, their article can be published in open access with a CC-BY license with paying no APC. This automatic capture of eligible articles is based on Ringgold database.
