Publish Open Access with ACM

The library has already been offering access to the ACM Digital Library for all university members in the campus network and via the library's remote access for many years. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) will now convert the ACM Digital Library to Open Access over the next few years.

For the period 2024 to 2026, H-BRS has joined the ACM Open model and H-BRS authors can publish their scientific contributions in ACM journals and proceedings at no additional cost.

With this agreement, the library is making a further contribution to Open Access at H-BRS.
