ICPS Is Now Open Access
In a major step in its transition to fully Open Access (OA) publication of all content on the ACM Digital Library, ACM has transitioned the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) to a fully OA publishing model, as of January 2024. In the new model, all ICPS papers are made OA upon publication, and existing ICPS papers will be converted to OA. Some authors who are not at ACM Open institutions will be required to pay Article Processing Charges (APCs). The model will apply to all conferences for which the Call for Papers issued on or after January 1, 2024.
