Researchers at the University of Iowa (UI) will soon be able to reach new audiences around the world, as a result of a transformative “read and publish” agreement with the Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
Under a read and publish agreement, authors are eligible to receive financial support to publish under an open access license in any of ACS’ 12 “gold” open access journals, or in any of its over 65 premier hybrid journals. At the same time, their university maintains access to the complete suite of ACS Publications journals for researchers and students.
ACS maintains read and publish agreements with hundreds of institutions in more than 20 countries worldwide, resulting in thousands of open access articles in the world’s leading chemistry journals. Over the past several years, ACS has seen significant increases in open access articles published and downloaded, with almost 30,000 open access downloads in 2020. ACS is committed to making open access publication easy for authors, and researchers at the University of Iowa will benefit from a range of tools to streamline their publishing experience.
