The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the National Science and Technology Council’s (NSTC) Natural Science Library Service Project: Chemistry Division has announced a new “read and publish” agreement supporting open access publishing at a consortium of 25 academic institutions for 2024-26, the first of its kind in Taiwan, and the first for ACS Publications in the Asia-Pacific region.
The new read and publish agreement is sponsored by the NSTC in Taiwan and provides support for authors at consortium-member institutions to publish their research open access in any ACS Publications journal. The supporting investment from the NSTC was essential to the development of this agreement, which will increase the volume of trusted, peer-reviewed research from Taiwan that is openly available for the world to read and cite.
ACS Publications has prioritized the growth and success of read and publish agreements to advance open science and equity in the sciences by providing straightforward and funded pathways for authors to publish open access. The number of academic institutions whose authors are supported by read and publish agreements with ACS Publications has grown from 100 institutions in 2019 to over 1,000 institutions worldwide, as announced in April 2023.
