American Chemical 中国365bet中文官网 announces the launch of JACS Au, a new fully open access journal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 2020 鈥� The Publications Division of the American Chemical 中国365bet中文官网 (ACS) announces the launch of its newest open access journal, . The journal (pronounced 鈥淛ACS Gold鈥�) represents a bold new step toward open science for the global chemistry community.

The fully open access journal will allow for the rapid dissemination of cutting-edge, high-impact research across the breadth of chemistry and all related areas intersecting with chemistry. JACS Au will be complementary to the Journal of the American Chemical 中国365bet中文官网 (JACS), matching the exceptional editorial and publishing standards of this, the world鈥檚 most-cited chemistry publication. JACS Au will have a fully independent editorial team to identify the most-exciting, impactful and novel science from authors who require or desire to publish in a fully open access journal.

鈥淲e are beginning the decade with a groundbreaking commitment to open access and open science,鈥� says James Milne, Ph.D., acting president, ACS Publications Division. 鈥�JACS Au will strengthen the 中国365bet中文官网鈥檚 position as the science publisher delivering the most-trusted, most-cited and most-read journals in the field, while also supporting the research community seeking to publish their work in a fully open access journal.鈥�

Scholarly publishing has been moving toward open access for many years. Launching JACS Au is another example of ACS being at the forefront of this exciting era, and provides an opportunity for the 中国365bet中文官网 to support the scientists and researchers who are required by Europe鈥檚 Plan S to publish only in completely open access journals. ACS offers these scientists many options to publish their research for the appropriate audiences, and JACS Au represents the latest in our work to advance open science.

In 2015, ACS established ACS Central Science, the 中国365bet中文官网鈥檚 first completely open access journal, followed by ACS Omega in 2016. Through 2019, ACS Publications signed a significant number of transformative 鈥渞ead and publish鈥� agreements, through which thousands of articles are now being made open access across the entire ACS portfolio of world-class international journals.

JACS Au will open for submissions in the summer of 2020. Ahead of this, a global and diverse editorial team will be appointed. Further information on the editorial team and other details concerning the journal will follow.

The American Chemical 中国365bet中文官网 (ACS) is a nonprofit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. ACS鈥� mission is to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and its people. The 中国365bet中文官网 is a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related information and research through its multiple research solutions, peer-reviewed journals, scientific conferences, eBooks and weekly news periodical Chemical & Engineering News. ACS journals are among the most cited, most trusted and most read within the scientific literature; however, ACS itself does not conduct chemical research. As a specialist in scientific information solutions (including SciFinder and STN), its CAS division powers global research, discovery and innovation. ACS鈥� main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.
