ECS (The Electrochemical Society) is celebrating Open Access Week this
year by making all of its content—over 120,000 articles—in the ECS
Digital Library (http://ecsdl.org) freely accessible from October 19
through 25, 2015.

The research ECS publishes directly addresses the sustainability of
the planet: clean energy, renewables, energy storage, and clean water
are just a few of the subjects covered by ECS’s journals.

We want to take the opportunity of Open Access Week to show the world
our vision: all of our content freely available to anyone who wants to
read it.

ECS believes that open access—especially in electrochemistry and solid
state sciences—is an important goal for scientific and technological
development and, quite simply, creating a better world. Ensuring that
everyone working on these issues—wherever they are in the world, and
for whomever they work—has access to the latest research is in our
best interests as a nonprofit professional society supporting
researchers everywhere, and in the best interests of all the sciences.

Subjects covered by these journals include:

-- energy storage and conversion, from small-scale to large scale:
batteries, fuel cells, biofuels, supercapacitors, grid-scaling;

-- environmental remediation of materials used in research;

-- corrosion of infrastructures;

-- clean water and sanitation;

-- the growth of nanotechnology;

-- processes to develop safer and more effective drugs;

-- improving and developing new medical devices; and

-- sensors for environmental cleanup, emissions monitoring, detection
of illegal and dangerous materials, home and workplace safety, and
medical diagnosis and care.

The ECS Digital Library is home to the Journal of The Electrochemical
Society, the flagship journal of ECS, published continuously since
1902, and to the ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology,
ECS Electrochemistry Letters, ECS Solid State Letters, Electrochemical
and Solid-State Letters, ECS Transactions, ECS Meeting Abstracts, and
Interface.

ECS has not yet reached a place where it can sustainably make all of
its publications open access, but it is our goal and we want to
celebrate our vision of the future during Open Access Week.
