Transformative open access agreement with ACS Publications
The Library is pleased to announce that it has concluded a transformative “read and publish” deal with ACS Publications.
In addition to maintaining access to the ACS portfolio of over 75 highly respected journals, the deal allows HKBU researchers to make their articles by ACS journals openly accessible at no additional cost. By removing the paywall from HKBU research results, the impact of this work will be further magnified.
For more information, please refer to this ACS press release.
ACS uses a system called RightsLink to manage open access publication. Details of a dedicated RightsLink training session for HKBU authors will be announced by the Library in due course.
