Publishing OA articles without paying APCs

We would like to inform you about the special agreements we made with these databases below. As a result of the agreements made with these databases, our faculty members will be able to publish their articles as open access (OA) without paying the article processing charge (APC) in their publications as responsible authors. The information of these databases and the details about the subject are given below:

American Chemical Society (ACS)

Due to our subscription to ACS Journals, your publications as a corresponding author will be published as open access in ACS journals without the article processing charge (APC).

  • The agreement covers publication in all ACS journals, including ACS Omega, JACS Au, ACS Au collection, and all ACS hybrid journals.
  • The agreement does not include publishing eBooks or articles that are additions, corrections or editorials.

        Important details:

  1. The submitting corresponding author must indicate affiliation to our institution by selecting the institution from the drop down list in their Paragon Plus profile,
  2. The submitting corresponding author must be identified as the individual who is to communicate with ACS throughout the peer review process,
  3. The submitting corresponding author should utilize their university email address in their Paragon Plus profile to better assist the agreement administrator in determining qualification.

Corresponding authors meeting all of the criteria mentioned above will be referred to as “qualifying authors”. As a qualifying author, a funding request will be automatically generated at the time of manuscript acceptance. You will receive a notification from Copyright Clearance Center once action is taken on the funding request. When completing the Journal Publishing Agreement, your manuscript should be identified as belonging to the agreement. If the manuscript is not identified as belonging to the agreement or if you have problems with the open access publication of your article, do not hesitate to get in touch with us or the ACS.
