Positioning ACM For an Open Access Future
The age of open access is upon us. Increasingly, the consensus of authors and their funding institutions is that the fruits of taxpayer-supported research should be freely available. This is a compelling argument and a noble goal. But, achieving open access is not easy.

Thus, ACM has been working to position its publications program to […]
ACM's Publications Board issues a plagiarism policy to help stem the disturbing increase in occurrences.
