ACM Agreement to Cover Open Access Publishing Costs

Mississippi State University Libraries is excited to announce a new open access agreement with the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). This agreement covers the costs of open access publishing for MSU authors in ACM’s extensive range of journals and publications available in the ACM Digital Library.

What does this mean for you? You can now publish an unlimited number of research articles without worrying about article processing charges (APCs). To take advantage of this, simply make sure you’re the corresponding author and use your netid@msstate.edu email address when submitting your work. This ensures that the APCs will be covered under our agreement, allowing your research to reach a wider audience without any additional costs.

Cathy Austin, Assistant Professor / Interim Director for Collection Management & Strategy, said this agreement offers a great opportunity for MSU authors to increase the visibility and impact of their research while contributing to the broader open access movement.

If you have any questions about the agreement or need assistance with the submission process, please reach out to Cathy Austin at caustin@library.msstate.edu.
