ACM Open Author's Guide
更新日：2023/12/26
Media Library have decided to upgrade ACM subscription of e-journals (ACM Digital Library) to new license model, "ACM Open", from January 2024.
"ACM Open" allows the researchers of FUN to browse e-journals and download PDF, and also covers the article processing charge for ACM's Journals and Proceedings (provided that all the following conditions are met). As a result the researchers of FUN will no longer have to pay this charge with own research expenses. Moreover papers submitted under the "ACM Open" will be Open Access (accessible to all).
The change to the "ACM Open" is expected to reduce the financial burdens on researchers for publishing research papers and to accelerate to full open access in the academic world.
