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.
