Libraries Transition to ACM Open

News item published on: 2024-08-19 13:34:00

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world’s oldest and largest scientific society dedicated to computer science. University Libraries has long been associated with ACM but is now transitioning to ACM Open.

The ACM Open model allows the University’s corresponding authors to publish an unlimited number of Open Access (OA) research articles in the ACM Digital Library while also providing complete access to the contents found in the traditional "read only" subscription model. ACM Open allows for OA publishing across ACM's complete catalog of journals, conference proceedings, and magazines.

Other benefits of the ACM Open model include automatic deposit at publication of all accepted research articles into an institutional repository, default CC-BY author rights on all accepted research articles, and it avoids administrative burden and cost fluctuation associated with other 'pay per article'-based models.
