The Max Planck Society established a new agreement with the Association of Computing Machinery which includes open access publishing. The agreement centrally covers the open access charge for Max Planck corresponding authors who publish in ACM journals, conference proceedings and magazines under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY).

Max Planck members have full access to the ACM Digital Library, including ACM’s archive and entire publication portfolio including journals, magazines, conference proceedings, newsletters, websites and multimedia files, as well as all publications affiliated with ACM and the ACM Guide to Computing Literature. The only exception is the ‘ACM Book Series’. The agreement is in effect from May 1, 2020.
