The invoice is generated within 24 hrs and the author can download the invoice by logging into CCC and going to ‘My account’, ‘My orders’. • On the second page of the invoice the author will find the details on how to pay. If they want to send a cheque there will be an address. If the author wants to pay by bank transfer, CCC bank details are provided. • The author can print the invoice if a hard copy is required, or email the electronic version (PDF format). • If the author only receives a PO number after the invoice is raised, they can email publicationservices@copyright.com with their invoice/invoice number, and ask them to add the PO number onto the invoice and they will send an updated invoice.
