The American Chemical Society (ACS) Publications and Membership and Scientific Advancement Divisions have jointly announced the introduction of new programmes that will expand ACS member access to over 1 million articles and book chapters from the most trusted, most cited, most read publications in the chemical and related sciences.
The expansion of access to this range of peer-reviewed scientific literature came from ongoing dialog between the two Divisions on how to provide additional value to ACS members and best serve the information needs of the growing, interdisciplinary scientific community.
ACS Member Universal Access gives all paid ACS members online access to 25 articles or book chapters from over 40 ACS Journals, ACS Symposium Series e-books and C&EN Archives during their membership term. This new benefit ensures that all members have access to the highest quality research in the chemical and related sciences, an $875 value that alone covers the cost of membership more than five times over.
Members will have the ability to purchase access to additional research through ACS Member Articles on Command, which facilitates single-article purchases for members, at a discount of 66 percent over the non-member price. Individual member subscriptions will be reintroduced in 2012 at a uniform low price of $85 per year. This includes access to up to 250 articles per journal, per subscription term.
For members who wish to have access to the entire suite of ACS Journals, ACS Symposium Series e-books and C&EN Archives, ACS Member E-Passport is introduced. Available at two fixed price levels for 250 and 500 articles, the E-Passport product is geared toward interdisciplinary scientists who want more flexibility in how they access scientific content.
All programmes will be available to members starting in January 2012 and will be facilitated via the ACS Web Editions platform.
