ACS Publications announces the large-scale digitization and open
availability of supporting information coupled to ACS Legacy Archives
Journals

ACS Publications today announces the completion of a comprehensive
undertaking to digitally convert and conserve the Supporting
Information for its broadly subscribed ACS Legacy Archives journals
collection. This initiative was part of the Society’s commitment to
broaden the online accessibility of the supporting information and
data associated with the ACS Legacy Archives –– a premium collection
of nearly half a million original research articles published in ACS
journals between the years 1879 and 1995. The digitization effort has
generated new Supporting Information files for 40,000 ACS original
research articles, and in total comprises 800,000 pages of highly
valuable data and underlying research information.

To read the full press release and read noteworthy examples of data
that supported scientific breakthroughs please visit

The recently digitized research  material is openly available to any
visitor of the ACS Publications website and can be readily downloaded
from the abstract page of any ACS Legacy Archive journal article that
contains Supporting Information. The digital conversion of this
additional Supporting Information enables easy access to tabular data,
illustrations and diagrams, spectroscopic and crystallographic
results, detailed experimental procedures, software programming code,
biological test data, mathematical derivations and more.
