ACM Open Access Publishing Eligibility and Exceptions
All ACM conferences, journals, and magazines, for which ACM manages production and rights, are eligible for Open Access publishing. Please visit the Digital Library for the most up-to-date list of ACM publications. All corresponding authors from current ACM OPEN licensing institutions may publish an unlimited number of accepted research articles in these publications.
The following lists of conferences and journals are co-published with other Publishers and, therefore, are exceptions to the above. In the case of ACM and IEEE co-published conferences, the production and author rights process alternates annually between ACM and IEEE. For the years ACM manages production and author rights for a conference, the published articles are included in ACM Open and managed in the same way as all other ACM Publications. For the years IEEE manages production and author rights for a conference, published articles are not included in ACM Open. It has yet to be determined by ACM and IEEE whether these articles will be included in the ACM Digital Library after January 1, 2026. To inquire about upcoming Open Access eligibility for a given conference, please contact the conference organizer.
The journal, Collective Intelligence (COLA), is co-published by ACM and SAGE. It is a Gold Open Access journal. Since SAGE manages the production and author rights process for this journal, the articles are published on SAGE's publishing platform and participate in either SAGE's Read and Publish model or their Article Processing Charges. In either case, upon publication, SAGE provides ACM with the published articles to be co-hosted in the ACM Digital Library on an Open Access basis. Articles in this journal cannot publish through the ACM Open model and are not counted in ACM Open reporting.

ACM Case Studies
Written by leading domain experts for software engineers, ACM Case Studies provide an in-depth look at how software teams overcome specific challenges by implementing new technologies, adopting new practices, or a combination of both. Often through first-hand accounts, these pieces explore what the challenges were, the tools and techniques that were used to combat them, and the solution that was achieved.
Lifelong Learning
ACM offers lifelong learning resources including online books and courses from Skillsoft, TechTalks on the hottest topics in computing and IT, and more.
Publish with ACM
ACM's prestigious conferences and journals seek top-quality papers in all areas of computing and IT. It is now easier than ever to find the most appropriate venue for your research and publish with ACM.
