ACM and Open Access publishing
In 2024, a new consortium agreement between Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Danish research institutions came into force. To CBS researchers, the agreement means that you can publish your research as Open Access at no cost in a number of ACM’s journals.

The agreement is valid until 31 December 2026. According to the agreement, the final version of an article can be published as Open Access under a Creative Commons license if it fulfills the agreement conditions. The publication costs are covered by the consortium agreement.

Agreement conditions

• Manuscripts accepted or published during the period of the agreement are covered.
• Eligible article types are: research articles, review articles and conference or proceedings papers.
• The journal must be part of the agreement
• Corresponding author is affiliated to Copenhagen Business School (or another institution covered by the agreement).

What to do as a researcher?

As a researcher at CBS, you can publish your eligible article as Open Access after it has been accepted for publication.

• Please note that you must be listed as corresponding author and use your institutional e-mail address when submitting the manuscript for review and when choosing between the two "rights assignment" options after acceptance.
• CC BY is the default license - although corresponding authors can choose any of the licenses in the Creative Commons license portfolio.
