Negotiations with the publisher ACS for the renewal of the contract, which expired on 31/12/2023, have not yet come to a conclusion, although economic and supply conditions have been agreed to the satisfaction of the negotiating team.
For 2025, pending the definition of the new contract, ACS decided to reactivate the open access publication procedure.
As a result, CRUI agreed to process the requests received on the platform for open access publication, with validation by the venues in terms of checking affiliations.
