Each publisher will still go through the peer-review process for submitted articles. After article acceptance and publication, readers around the world will then be able to view and access the article without encountering a paywall. &nbsp;Open access allows for greater exposure of your research and the potential for higher citations and more downloads. For more information about open access please visit our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tarleton.libguides.com\/\">Scholarly Communication Subject Guide<\/a>&nbsp;to view definitions and common questions about open access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">American Chemical Society<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The American Chemical Society publishes a wide range of high-quality journals through their platform,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tarleton.libguides.com\/acs\">ACS Publications<\/a>.
