Mythbusting Open Access in the Chemical Sciences
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT / 15:00 PM - 16:00 PM BST
Open access is an important part of reaching the widest possible audience with your research, but you may have heard conflicting information about the process and the benefits for choosing open access. This session aims to provide researchers with a primer on the differences between open access and subscription-based journals, and information that dispels some of the enduring myths surrounding OA.
The Role of Institutions in Fostering a Climate of Open Science
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT / 16:00 PM - 17:00 PM BST
Co-Sponsored by the ACS Division of Chemical Information
Open science is about more than just open access. This session looks at the various pillars of open science - including open data and open peer review - with presentations from a variety of speakers on how institutions are fostering a climate of open science in their research communities.

Understanding Copyright for Researchers
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT / 17:00 PM - 18:00 PM BST
Do you know your BYs from your BY-NC-NDs? Choosing a copyright license for your work can be tricky, especially when your institution or license funder may have particular rules that they expect you to follow. This session provides a brief overview of the common license types you’ll encounter when publishing your work open access; highlights when, where, and why these licenses might be used; and provides you with tools to identify how you can comply with institutional and funder mandates.
Open Access for Early Career Researchers
7:00 AM - 8:00 AM EDT / 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM BST
Publishing open access for the first time can be a whirlwind for early career researchers. There’s a lot to consider, from identifying the best OA journal for your research through to compliance with any requirements set in place by your research institution or funder. This session provides a brief overview of the open access publishing process from start to finish, led by an experienced researcher.
Preprints in Chemistry - Now and Next
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT / 15:00 PM - 16:00 PM BST
Compared to other fields of research, chemistry has been relatively slow to adopt preprints - but the significant growth in the number of articles posted to ChemRxiv over the past five years indicates that attitudes are changing. This session looks at how ChemRxiv has grown and new developments that will benefit researchers and institutions alike.
The OSTP Memo and its Impact on Chemistry
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT / 16:00 PM - 17:00 PM BST
Co-Sponsored by the ACS Division of Chemical Information
The OSTP ‘Nelson Memo’ sets an ambitious goal for research funders in the US: ensure free and immediate access to all grantees’ published research, beginning no later than January 1 2026. The implications of the memo are wide-ranging and will significantly impact all chemistry researchers in the United States.
This session brings together diverse viewpoints to discuss how the OSTP memo, the ensuing funder mandates, and publishers’ responses will shape the future of chemistry publishing.
