ACS Publications announces today a far-reaching expansion of its open
access publishing options—including a major new open access journal,
more licensing choices for authors, and a stimulus program to support
authors who select ACS journals when seeking to publish their work
open access.

1. ACS Central Science—ACS’s first pure open-access, peer-reviewed
journal will be launched in 2014.

2. ACS Editors’ Choice—One article published in a subscription-based
ACS journal will be made openly accessible every day beginning on Jan.
1, 2014.

3. ACS Author Rewards—Corresponding authors of articles published in
ACS journals in 2014 will get a $1,500 credit per article, which can
be used to pay for open-access fees starting in 2015 and until 2017.

4. ACS AuthorChoice—Existing program will be expanded for new
features, including more licensing options.

Please share the news with your patrons by directing them to visit the
website www.acsopenaccess.org for a full overview of the new
offerings.

We will be organizing a series of webinars to take questions and
gather and respond to questions from the library community in the
coming weeks.

We will also be at the Charleston Conference next week and encourage
you to visit our booth during the Wednesday Vendor Showcase for
further information.

Best wishes and enjoy the weekend!
