Open Access Publishing Options with American Chemical Society Changing July 1 June 10, 2025 Beginning July 1, 2025, open access publishing options with the American Chemical Society (ACS) for UC authors are changing. Authors who wish to publish under an open access license on the ACS platform will be responsible for covering the full cost of the discounted Article Processing Charge (APC). This change is due to a number of factors, including high publishing volume and lower-than-anticipated contribution of research funding, which have made the current agreement with ACS unsustainable. The option for authors without available research funding to request full coverage of the APC will end on June 30, 2025. |
