Author Rewards
This open access stimulus program provides the research community with potential savings on the order of $60 million. For each ACS article published in 2014, the corresponding authors received $1,500 in ACS Author Rewards credits, which can be used toward any ACS open access option.
Credits must be used by December 31, 2017 and can also be used to make previously published articles open access.
Credits can also be used to purchase a creative commons license.
