The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced a landmark transitional agreement with the Jisc consortium that will serve researchers in the U.K. across all fields of chemistry.
The three-year agreement, which will last through 2024, provides the ability for all scientific articles published by researchers at U.K. universities and research institutes in ACS journals to be open access (OA) at no cost to the researcher.
Over the past several years, ACS has expanded its read and publish program significantly as it supports researchers in the transition to an OA future. Researchers at more than 400 institutions in more than 20 countries are covered under a read and publish agreement, resulting in rapid growth of OA articles published by the Society. ACS is committed to continuously innovating new open science solutions to serve its growing author and reader community.
