Chapter Publications
The ACM Publications Board is responsible for the overall ACM Publications Program. It sets the policies governing all ACM publications.
ACM publishes the following genres: journals, transactions, magazines, newsletters, proceedings and oral histories. Journals, transactions, and magazines are published under the direct oversight of the Publications Board. All proposals for new publications in these three genres are reviewed by the Publications Board. The process of initiating publications like these, broadly referred to as "ACM journals", is described here: http://www.acm.org/publications/newjournals
The Publications Board has delegated oversight responsibility to the ACM SIGs for publication of SIG-sponsored proceedings and SIG newsletters. The SIGs make their own policies within the overarching framework set by the Publications Board.
Similarly, the ACM History Committee oversees the Oral Histories published in the ACM Digital Library.
Chapters may publish newsletters. Titles of newsletter should not include terms that are used to identify other genres. Titles (or subtitles) of a chapter newsletter are typically of the form "Newsletter of the {ACM Chapter Name}." In addition to "Newsletter" itself, terms like "Bulletin," "Forum," "News," "Notes," "Notices," "Pointers," and "Exchanges" can be used.
ACM has created a new standard Chapter logo. This is the logo that should be used on your newsletter cover and on your chapter website.
If a chapter sponsors or co-sponsors a conference or workshop, it may apply to the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) if it wishes to publish the proceedings of that event in the ACM Digital Library. See: http://www.acm.org/publications/icps-series
If you have any questions about starting up a publication for your newsletter, please contact Sunita Jaswal, [email protected].
Is Now the Time to Give LLMs Access to the ACM Digital Library? Share Your Feedback
Read a message from ACM President Elisa Bertino about the possibility of opening the ACM Digital Library to LLMs. While ACM's Publications Board and Digital Library Board have discussed allowing LLMs to train on articles in the Digital Library, ACM has not made a decision regarding whether or how the Digital Library might be used for LLM training. Your input is an important part of ensuring ACM continues to serve the computing community thoughtfully and responsibly. If you have not yet shared your perspectives, please read President Bertino's message and consider participating in the survey.
