The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have announced a “read and publish” agreement. With this collaboration, ACS and Tokyo Tech aim to expand access to research and publish the largest number of open access articles in ACS journals from a single institution in Japan.
This collaboration, which began in January 2023, brings open access opportunities to the university's researchers for three years. The goal is to bring greater visibility to the scientific contributions of the university. The agreement will also allow Tokyo Tech to join the change in STM (scientific, technical and medical) publishing by finding an innovative way to meet both the research and publishing needs of its scientists.
ACS collaborates with global institutions, granting the opportunity to apply their subscription costs to support researchers publishing articles as open access in any ACS journal.
