Gold Open Access
ACM is committed to a future where all of its peer-reviewed scholarly publications will be published in the ACM Digital Library on an Open Access basis, but it is also committed to ensuring that this future is reached responsibly and sustainably.
DGOV papers are published with Gold Open Access and are free to read and share via the ACM Digital Library.
To underwrite the publication costs for DGOV as a Gold OA journal, authors are requested, but not required, to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). APC pricing can be found here. Click here to join ACM to receive APC discounts and the many other benefits of membership.
Many corresponding authors will already benefit from their institution’s membership in the ACM Open program, which provides unlimited OA publication for corresponding authors at participating institutions. Click here for the list of current ACM Open member institutions.
ACM is also currently looking at other options and models for sustainable Open Access publication, including industry, governmental, and non-governmental organization (NGO) sponsorships. Please click here for additional information about ACM’s various Open Access publication initiatives.
