All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%).<\/p>\n\n<p>Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/libraries.acm.org\/acmopen\/open-participants\">participating institutions<\/a> in ACM Open and review the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/policies\/policy-on-geographic-apc-waivers-and-discounts\">APC Waivers and Discounts Policy<\/a>. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.<\/p>\n\n<p>Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 $250 APC for ACM\/SIG members<br>\n\u2022 $350 for non-members<\/p>\n\n<p>This represents a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/openaccess\">65% discount<\/a>, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.<\/p>\n\n<p>This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OPEN ACCESS Important update on ACMs new open access publishing model for 2026 ACM Conferences!
