"Dear Members of the Computing Community,
We are pleased to share an important milestone for our field. Beginning January
2026, all ACM publications and related artifacts in the ACM Digital Library
will be made open access. This change reflects the long-standing and growing
call across the global computing community for research to be more accessible,
more discoverable, and more reusable.
By transitioning to open access, ACM is supporting a publishing environment
where:
* Authors retain the intellectual property to their Work- All ACM authors
retain the copyright to their published work while ACM remains committed to
defending those Works against copyright and integrity related violations.
* Published Work Will Benefit from Broader visibility and impact- Research will
be freely available to anyone in the world, increasing readership, citations,
and real-world application.
* Students, educators, and researchers everywhere benefit- Whether at
well-resourced institutions or in emerging research communities, everyone will
have direct access to the full breadth of ACM-published work.
* Innovation accelerates- Open access fosters collaboration, transparency, and
cumulative progress, strengthening the advancement of computing as a
discipline.
This transition is the result of extensive dialogue with authors, SIG leaders,
editorial boards, libraries, and research institutions worldwide. We are
grateful for the community’s consistent advocacy for openness and its
commitment to ensuring that computing knowledge is shared widely."
