SANLiC (South African National Library & Information Consortium) has negotiated a three-year (2023-2025) read and publish agreement for the ACS All Publications package.The agreement includes continued read access to over 75 journals in the ACS All Publications package as well as unlimited open access publishing in the ACS hybrid journals.
Number of included articles: there is no limit on the number of articles that can be published open access in the ACS hybrid journals.
For gold open access journals (the ACS Au journals), a flat $3 000 article processing charge (APC) applies. The exception is ACS Omega, for which the APC is already heavily discounted.
