Article Types Eligible for Open Access Publishing Under ACM OPEN

As we move closer to our “flip” date of fully open access publishing (1st January 2026), ACM has come to define ACM Open eligibility by article type rather than by publication. As such we are no longer creating lists showing ACM Open eligibility by title. The vast majority of ACM journal, magazine, and conference proceedings publications include some level of APC-eligible research (i.e., research that is eligible to be opened under an institution’s ACM Open agreement). More on APC-eligible ACM publications and a list of the exceptions can be found here. The definition that ACM uses for APC-eligible articles is any of the following article types published in any ACM Publication (i.e. journals, magazines, conference proceedings, etc.):

Interview
Note/ Editorial Note/ Technical Note
Research Article
Review Article
Short Paper
Survey Article
Tutorial

Please note ACM publishes thousands of other types of content every year. These content types are heavily downloaded from the ACM Digital Library, but are not APC-eligible. They include:

Abstract
Announcement
Article commentary
Book review
Column
Correction
Course material
Demonstration
Extended abstract
Forum
Introduction
Invited talk
Keynote
Letter
Newsletter
Opinion
Panel
Poster
