The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Purdue University have entered into a new transformative Open Access (OA) Read and Publish agreement under the ACM OPEN program. The three-year agreement will allow for Purdue corresponding authors to publish an unlimited number of OA research articles in the ACM Digital Library across ACM’s entire portfolio of journals, magazines and conference proceedings. Regular access to the rest of the ACM Digital Library’s subscription contents is also provided for the license. The new agreement demonstrates a shared commitment between ACM and Purdue to further sustainable OA publishing in computer science.
Under the new agreement, all new ACM research articles published by Purdue corresponding authors will be made OA in perpetuity in the ACM Digital Library at no cost to authors, with default CC-BY author rights for article reuse. Additionally, all accepted new ACM research articles from any Purdue author (corresponding or not) will be automatically deposited into Purdue’s institutional repository.
Since its launch in late January 2020, more than 70 institutions worldwide decided to begin participation in the ACM OPEN license model. The newly-signed agreement with Purdue continues ACM’s collaborative efforts towards becoming a sustainable, fully OA research publisher for the computing community.
