RISK SHARING

How do entitlements for open access publishing correlate to the anticipated article output? Which mechanisms for risk sharing have been agreed in cases of exceeding or not reaching the number of OA publishing entitlements?

 

For OBP, ACS shall provide Grantee eighty-five (85) tokens (“Tokens”) for the year 2024. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that Tokens have no redeemable monetary value. For clarity, in the event of OBP termination, unused Tokens will not be refunded as a sales credit or otherwisc. Tokens expire 24 months after they have been granted. Notwithstanding. Tokens may be used solely in the calendar year for which they were issued. For example, any unused Tokens left at the end of 2024 remain viable through 2025 but must be used retroactively for an article accepted in 2024. Tokens cannot be used for articles accepted before 1.1.2024.
Once the number of Tokens granted has been used, Grantee may purchase additional Tokens at its discretion. Otherwise, ACS policy will revert to direct payment of a fee by the Qualifying Author for publication of such authors article(s) under open access conditions.
