Description

ACM's Transition to Full Open Access is an Association for Computing Machinery publications page on ACM's move to a fully open-access publishing model. The URL is an official policy overview rather than a research paper.

It covers the January 1, 2026 change making ACM Digital Library research content freely available, the phased journey to open access, ACM Open institutional agreements with output-based pricing and unlimited APC-free publishing for corresponding authors at participating institutions, and Premium versus Basic Digital Library access options.

It is for computing researchers, librarians, and administrators who need author and institutional rules after the OA switch. Graphics readers mainly use it when ACM venues affect how they publish or read papers.

Access is a free public ACM website page with timeline graphics and program descriptions.

The page is useful as ACM's primary statement of what became free to read in 2026 and how ACM Open funds sustainability for covered institutions.
