The ACM Open Access Model

ACM has been working closely with top-tier research institutions and university library consortia to develop a unique and innovative variation on the typical types of “Read + Publish” models that large commercial publishers and university presses are piloting. This new model has the potential to transition ACM to a fully sustainable and Plan S compliant (https://www.coalition-s.org/) OA scholarly publisher within approximately five years.
