The University of Bologna has joined the national CARE-CRUI agreement signed with the American Chemical Society (ACS). The transformative agreement covers both the subscription fees for accessing the complete journal collection published by ACS and the fees for publishing Open Access in the hybrid and full Open Access journals at no additional costs for authors.
Depositing in the Institutional Repository (Green Open Access)
For any article published in hybrid journals whose costs are not covered by the agreement, authors can deposit in the institutional repository and/or in their personal websites and publish as Open Access the Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM) (post-print) after a 12-month embargo period. However, no Creative Commons licence or other type of open licence may be applied to them.
How long does the agreement last?
The agreement lasts from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.
