Celebrate International Open Access Week with ECS: Free Access to Subscription Content

ECS paywall is down October 21-27, 2024

In celebration of International Open Access Week, The Electrochemical Society (ECS) is pleased to announce that from October 21-27, 2024, we will remove the paywall from all our subscription content. This special initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to making the latest advances in electrochemical and solid state science accessible to researchers, educators, and professionals around the world.

Open Access Week 2024

International Open Access Week is a global event that promotes unrestricted access to research and scholarly work, fostering a more equitable system of knowledge sharing. This year’s theme, “Community Over Commercialization,” emphasizes the importance of prioritizing open access initiatives that serve the broader scientific community and contribute to the collective progress of knowledge. At ECS, we believe that providing free access to our peer-reviewed journals during this week aligns perfectly with this mission.

Open Access at ECS

For one week, the electrochemical and solid state science community will have free access to a wealth of groundbreaking research published in our esteemed journals, including the Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES), ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology (JSS), ECS Advances (ECSA), and ECS Sensors Plus (ECSSP). ECS has long been a leader in advocating for open science, striving to disseminate knowledge that fuels innovation and drives global progress. During International Open Access Week, we encourage everyone to take full advantage of this opportunity to access research that might otherwise be out of reach. This week is not just about removing paywalls; it’s about creating a more inclusive scientific community where research is available to all, regardless of geographic or financial barriers. By opening our subscription content, we hope to inspire more collaborative efforts and accelerate the pace of innovation in electrochemical and solid state science.

Access ECS content

We invite the ECS community and beyond to join us in celebrating International Open Access Week by diving into our journals, exploring the cutting-edge work of your peers, and sharing this knowledge with your networks. Let’s make the most of this opportunity to connect, learn, and contribute to a future where knowledge is truly open and accessible to everyone.
