I’m a prospective author, how do I publish open access?

For step-by-step instructions on how to publish open access under your institution’s read and publish agreement, please see below:

Open access publishing instructions

Automatic article deposit in PubMed Central

Authors who elect to publish open access will automatically have their final published article sent for deposit in PubMed Central. Please note all contents accepted for US PubMed Central are automatically mirrored on Europe PMC — nothing more is required on your part. Authors publishing open access under this agreement are also free to deposit their accepted manuscript in their institutional and/or research funder’s designated open access repository.

Immediate public access to research

Some research funders require authors to make a version of their research article available in a public open access repository immediately upon publication.

You may see this referred to as ‘zero-embargo green open access’.

You or your co-authors’ funder(s) may require you to make a version of your manuscript available in an open access repository immediately upon publication. You will need to check the terms of all applicable grants, and/or communicate with your grant officer, to confirm if such a policy applies to your work.

Publishing open access through your institution’s agreement helps you comply with these mandates. ACS Publications will automatically submit the version of record of your article to PubMed Central, and you and your co-authors are free to post your accepted manuscript to any other repository or service required by your funder(s). Combined with public access to your research data, this should ensure compliance with any applicable open access or public access policy.
