Corresponding Author MUST use their SDSU email address. Accepted articles are eligible for both the discounted APC of $3,000 and the option for full funding of the APC from the collective subscription pool. If you are an eligible corresponding author and you select the open-access option in ACS’s Journal Publishing Agreement system after your article has been accepted, you will be asked whether or not you have research funds to pay for open-access publishing. After selecting either option (“yes” or “no”) you will receive an invitation to log into the payment processing system used by ACS, CCC RightsLink, to complete the process. (It is necessary to set up an account in RightsLink first; if you do not have an account, you will be prompted to create one.) Then click through the following steps in the RightsLink system. |
| Author Information |
If your research is grant funded and you set aside funds to pace for the APC, you will receive a discounted rate to publish OA through ACS, but you will pay $3000 for the APC. If your research is not grant-funded or the APC was not written into the grant, you can request funding from the library consortium fund for this agreement. For questions, contact Kate Holvoet. |
