Commitment to Open Access Transition. ACM represents in relation to this ACM Open Agreement Period that their strategic plan is to transition their entire portfolio of peer- reviewed scholarly publications to a fully open access model, as is acknowledged in Schedule B. Specifically, ACM represents that the ACM Open model, with its foundation in “hybrid” open access – where some articles are paywalled and others published open access – is a temporary and transitional business model whose aim is to provide a mechanism to shift over time to full open access publication for all ACM journals. The full transition is expected to occur, depending on adoption of the ACM Open model by universities, within an estimated time period of 5-7 years.
