American Chemical Society Open Access Article Quota
Unfortunately, the agreed article quota for open access publishing has been exhausted.
Thanks to a Read & Publish agreement between the Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries and the American Chemical Society, the open access option in the "transformative" (Hybrid Open Access) and "fully open access" (Gold Open Access) journals can be used free of charge. However, due to the great demand, the article quota has unfortunately already been used up.
The publisher will activate the normal workflow where a reduced APC of $3,000 will be charged (subscription based, no open access, is free). Alternatively, the accepted manuscript can be uploaded to the UNIverse research portal of the University of Basel: https://universe-intern.unibas.ch/.
As of January 2025, a new quota will be available.
