Summary:
"If you want to reach a lot of readers, you need to make your work accessible to them. One way to do this is to make your work open access, or free for anyone to read.
'At ACS Energy Letters, 13 out of the 20 most read articles are open access,' says Dr. Kamat, suggesting that accessibility is key to broader dissemination and readership.
Dr. Tonzani agrees that open access is important for a research paper. 'In regards to my open access journal, ACS Omega, roughly half of the readers are working in industry or ingesting our research at places other than universities and companies that subscribe to ACS journals. Thus you can have an immediate doubling of the possible audience for your paper.'
At ACS Publications, we offer flexible open access options on all ACS Journals under an ACS AuthorChoice license. With multiple discounts available, including a 50% ACS Membership discount, it’s more affordable than ever to open up your research to the world. Through the end of the year, researchers may also use their ACS Author Rewards to cover the cost of open access fees."
