Open Access Authors Can Now Retain Copyright
Published January 21, 2021
Effective January 2021, ACS Publications is instituting a new copyright retention policy to make open access publishing easier and more attractive for our authors. All authors who publish open access in any ACS journal, either in our hybrid or completely open-access journals, can now retain copyright on their article and receive a Creative Commons CC BY or CC BY-NC-ND license.
