ACS and Syracuse University announce transformative ‘read and publish’ agreement -

The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and Syracuse University (SU) are embarking on a transformative “read and publish” agreement, expanding the visibility of the university’s researchers’ scientific contributions. This commitment is a deepening of ACS’ commitment to open access publishing, a movement that it has pioneered through the launch of open access journals, open science initiatives, and the signing of read and publish agreements with hundreds of institutions in over 20 countries.

Under a transformative read and publish agreement, researchers who want or need to publish open access may do so with financial support from their institutions. All of ACS’ more than 75 journals accept open access articles, and ACS publishes 12 “pure gold” open access journals. Under this agreement, SU’s researchers will also benefit from complete access to ACS journals and Chemical & Engineering News.

Open access is growing rapidly around the world and at ACS. As the publisher of the most read and most cited journals in chemistry, accounting for 17% of chemistry-related articles published and 28% of chemistry-related citations in the most recent year of available data, ACS recognizes a responsibility to lead the way toward an open access future. In addition to being a founding member of ChemRxiv and launching SciMeetings, the open access repository for scientific posters and presentations, open access publication at ACS has grown significantly over the last five years.
