How does an author publish an Open Access article?

When submitting a manuscript, the author chooses his/her institution. We strongly recommend the use of an institutional e-mail address (serves for NTK/CzechELib at a later stage to check author eligibility).

Upon acceptance, the author is informed in the Journal Publishing Agreement Assistant that his/her institution is party to an agreement with the ACS to publish in Open Access mode. Here the author selects “Yes, I wish to publish open access as per the agreement” (if he/she wishes to publish in Open Access mode).
