ACS Publications NewsACS Podcast now available On March 10th, ACS Publications released its first podcast—an interview with ACS Chemical Biology [13.5MB, 14:39 minutes] Executive Editor Evelyn Jabri and Managing Editor Sarah Tegen about the field of chemical biology and the unique aspects of the new journal. Additional podcasts are planned in advance of the 231st ACS National Meeting in Atlanta. Interviews with speakers and symposium organizers will give listeners a preview of sessions from ACS Divisions such as Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Information. Look for information about these podcasts coming soon to the ACS Publications homepage. ACS Publications will continue to look for the best ways to apply this new medium to meet the needs of members and subscribers. We welcome ideas from our LiveWire readers. Please send your suggestions to marketing@acs.org.

ACS Articles on Request As announced in the January 2006 issue of LiveWire, ACS authors are now encouraged to share unlimited free access to their articles starting one year after publication. The ACS Articles on Request initiative was launched in January through e-mail messages sent to almost 60,000 authors whose ACS articles are now accessible under the new policy. ACS Articles on Request expands on the existing policy of allowing up to 50 free electronic PDF downloads (e-prints) of each author’s final published ACS articles during the first 12 months after publication. Access is permitted via links that ACS provides to authors, then authors provide to interested colleagues. Now, the access limitation is removed after 12 months, thereby allowing unlimited free e-prints via the same author-directed links. Brian Crawford, Senior Vice President of the ACS Publications Division, says, “We are very pleased to expand access in this way to research published in ACS journals. It is fundamental to the ACS mission to support and promote the research enterprise and to foster communication among its scientists. Providing unrestricted access via author-directed links 12 months after publication—in addition to the 50 free e-prints currently allowed during the first year of publication—reinforces that mission.” If your patrons have questions about how to participate in ACS Articles on Request, they should contact the ACS Publications Help Desk at journalhelp@acs.org. In another initiative, unedited versions of peer-reviewed manuscripts funded entirely or in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that have been accepted for publication in ACS journals will become publicly available. PubMed Central will provide free access starting 12 months after publication by the ACS.
ACS Paragon Plus Environment successfully launched On February 13, 2006, ACS Publications successfully launched the ACS Paragon Plus Environment for the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation (JCTC). This new web-based, real-time system for online manuscript submission and peer review replaces the ACS Paragon System. Implementation of the ACS Paragon Plus Environment will continue in 2006 for other ACS journals. The new system keeps the functionality that authors and reviewers have told us they value from the ACS Paragon System, while adding new capabilities to simplify the process and add efficiencies. The ACS Paragon Plus Environment is powered by ScholarOne® Manuscript Central™, which is used by more than 1,400 journals worldwide. Information about the ACS Paragon Plus Environment can be found at http://pubs.acs.org/paragonplus/auth_rev/index.html. |
