ACS Presentations on Demand
ACS Presentations on Demand
ACS places great value on new and proven scientific knowledge and strives to increase member access to that knowledge. ACS also understands that not every member can attend every national meeting. While no amount of technology can replace the many benefits of attending ACS national meetings, ACS Presentations on Demand seeks to share with all ACS members some of the important technical and professional information that is delivered at each meeting.
Representing programming from ACS Technical Divisions, ACS committees, and thematic events, ACS Presentations on Demand features a dynamic viewing platform, a searchable abstract index, and is compatible with mobile devices so members can view recordings anytime, anywhere. The recordings feature PowerPoint slides synched with audio, allowing the user to jump directly to slides of particular interest. Log in with your ACS ID at www.presentations.acs.org.
ACS Open Access
ACS Open Access
ACS Open Access is a program that’s designed to assist authors in meeting evolving requirements from their research funders and institutions.
- ACS Central Science
Led by a renowned scientist and international editorial board, ACS Central Science is a highly selective peer-reviewed journal that will publish exceptional multidisciplinary papers across the chemical sciences. - ACS Editors’ Choice
Based on recommendations from ACS journal editors around the world, a panel of ACS editors will select and feature one article daily that exemplifies the Society’s commitment to improving people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry. These articles will remain open for all to access and read. - ACS Author Rewards
ACS will sponsor a direct-to-author open access stimulus program by rewarding each Corresponding Author of every article published that year with publishing credits representing a total value of $1,500 per publication. These credits can be used to fund any ACS open access publishing option of the author’s choosing within the next three years. - ACS AuthorChoice
Since 2006, ACS has offered the ACS Author Choice option for authors to license immediate open availability of their published articles. The program is being expanded to offer authors a wider range of options, such as Creative Commons licenses and provisions for embargoed open access, coupled with Certified Article Deposit programs. One-time fees will be as low as $750 for ACS members at subscribing institutions.
Please visit www.acsopenaccess.org for more details and updates to the program.
