A top publisher of computing research, ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), is transitioning all of its publications to Open Access, an initiative it calls ACM Open. Sustained national advocacy and consortial negotiations have resulted in an agreement to support ACM Open, which UAL has now joined. This agreement gives U of A corresponding authors APC-free Open Access publishing in all ACM journals, magazines, and conference and workshop proceedings.
CSU will send out a brief announcement soon via the Academics Digest email. In the meantime, feel free to raise awareness of this new agreement in your areas, as you see fit.
We’ve added the ACM publications (n=80) to the SciFree Journal Search Tool, and, thanks to Natasha Nunn, ACM is now listed on the APC Support Page.
