Our Step-by-Step Process
Our Permission & Metadata Service ensures your manuscript is fully compliant with copyright, licensing, and publisher requirements. We audit your content, secure all necessary reuse rights, and create optimized metadata that enhances discoverability and supports a seamless submission process.
Manuscript Audit
Our team conducts a thorough audit of your manuscript to identify all third-party materials, including images, graphs, tables, maps, figures, and textual extracts. Every element is reviewed for copyright status, source requirements, potential reuse restrictions, and publisher-specific guidelines. This ensures complete clarity before the permission process begins.
Metadata Creation & Optimization
Once permissions are secured, we create a complete metadata package for your manuscript. This includes standardized captions, attribution statements, licensing details, DOI/URL references, and structured metadata for publisher systems.
Rights Request & Coordination
Pubrica manages the entire communication cycle with rights holders. We draft formal request letters, submit applications on your behalf, negotiate terms when needed, and follow up until approval is granted.

We deliver a fully organized Permission & Metadata Pack, containing:
- Approved permission letters
- Rights clearance summary
- Optimized metadata sheets
- Source documentation
- A clean, publisher-ready version of your manuscript
This ensures your submission meets all copyright, ethical, and technical requirements.
Permissions Assessment
Each identified element is evaluated and categorized into:
- Public domain or free-to-use content
- Fair-use eligible items

We cross-check publisher policies, copyright databases, Creative Commons licenses, and rights-holder rules to ensure full compliance with global copyright standards.
