An Exciting New Option for Authors...
ACS AuthorChoice facilitates unrestricted web access to your published ACS article—at the time of publication—for a one–time fixed payment, provided by you or your funding agency. Contributing authors who are ACS members and/or are affiliated with an ACS subscribing institution receive significant discounts. This policy also allows you to post copies of published articles on your personal website and institutional repositories for non–commercial scholarly purposes.
As a part of the ACS Cycle of Excellence, we are committed to providing the highest level of support for our authors. ACS AuthorChoice is one of many unique benefits offered to authors who contribute to ACS journals along with the ACS Paragon Plus Environment, Citation manager Functionality, and ACS Articles on Request to name a few.

"Those of you who read my Editorials know that I have been urging the American Chemical
Society to address the open access issue. The Board of Directors recently adopted
a new policy called Author Choice, which enables authors to pay to have their
articles completely open access from day one... I think it is such a good deal
that I have taken advantage of it myself. An article that I published in the
October, 2006 issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology is the first
fully open access article published in ANY American Chemical Society journal."
