ACS Publications has launched a suite of nine global open-access journals, collectively known as ACS Au. All nine journals are compliant with open-access requirements, including those listed under ‘Plan S’ and those of funders requiring publication in a fully open-access journal, just like JACS Au, which launched in 2020.

Each of the nine ACS Au journals focuses on a different field relevant to ACS readers and each is lead by a respected Deputy Editor from that field. The entire journal family is led by Editor-in-Chief Professor Shelley D. Minteer of the University of Utah. She serves as the Deputy Editor for ACS Measurement Science Au.

The titles in the ACS Au journal family and their leaders include:

All research published in these journals is available completely open access, without an embargo period, continuing ACS Publication’s long history of supporting open science. Authors in these journals are able to choose to make their articles available open access via a CC-BY or CC-BY-NC-ND license. ACS sponsors or substantially discounts article publishing charges for authors based in numerous countries classified as lower-middle-income economies.

The ACS Au journals are now open for submissions. Learn more about the ACS Au portfolio. Discover other ways ACS Publications is supporting open science.
