Publish open access with ECS

When you choose to publish your research on an open-access platform, you choose to share your work with the scientific community in the spirit of advancing scientific discovery.

ECS, in partnership with IOP, is making it simple for authors to choose open access! If you are fearful of the direct cost of open access article processing charges (APCs), be sure to research ways to reduce or eliminate APCs before submission.
