All about corrosion science and engineering

Save the date: The Electrochemical Society Open Access Week!

by

via Prof. Jerry Frankel

For a second consecutive year, The Electrochemical Society (ECS) is joining the International Open Access week. This inspiring event takes place from October 24 to 30. During this week, ECS will make its entire Digital Library containing more than 132,000 articles freely accessible to the community. From Prof. Jerry Frankel, Technical Editor in the area of corrosion for the Journal of the Electrochemical Society:

The motivation is to show off the vision of what free open access will look like. JES now provides Author’s Choice open access (at a reasonable cost with loptions for publishing credits). However, ECS is planning by 2024 to offer totally free open access, which will be free to both authors and readers. The plan is to fund it through development efforts, and the Society is part-way there already. Of course, the high quality review process, high journal standards, and pleasant author experience will remain unchanged. The initiative is called Free the Science. You can learn more about it here: http://www.electrochem.org/free-the-science and here http://freethescience.org/, The Society is approaching different foundations, but feel free to donate if you believe in the cause as I do.

Access to the whole ECS Digital Library will be open for OA Week from October 24-30 including: the Journal of The Electrochemical Society, the ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology, ECS Electrochemistry Letters, ECS Solid State Letters, Electrochemical and Solid-State Letters, ECS Transactions, ECS Meeting Abstracts, and Interface.

If you have questions, Prof. Jerry Frankel and Roque Calvo, ECS Executive Director, are hosting an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit on Thursday, October 20th. They will answer questions about Open Access (OA) and the ECS model, which is different than any other model for OA. You can tune into ECS AMA session on Science Reddit.

Please consider submitting your manuscripts to the Journal of the Electrochemical Society.
