<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400">Happy New Year to all! And with the new year comes a new era for the Association for Computing Machinery.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400">As of January 1, 2026, all ACM publications and related artifacts in the ACM Digital Library are now open access. This change reflects the long-standing and growing call across the global computing community for research to be more accessible, discoverable, and reusable.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400">“This is a truly monumental milestone,” states ACM President Yannis Ioannidis. “ACM will become one of the very few organizations to offer a large, integrated, and highly curated library of articles and related artifacts openly accessible to all. It is an important step not just for ACM but for the world of computing as well. I believe the vast wealth of data and knowledge that will be made available will prove to be of immense benefit to the computing profession as a whole, sparking a new wave of innovation and discovery."</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400">This transition is the result of extensive dialogue with authors, SIG leaders, editorial boards, libraries, and research institutions worldwide. ACM is grateful for the community’s consistent advocacy for openness and its commitment to ensuring that computing knowledge is shared widely. Our goal is to make this transition smooth and supportive for everyone who contributes to ACM’s publications and conferences.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400">As part of this transition, the ACM Digital Library is now offered in two editions: a free Basic edition that provides open access to ACM’s full corpus of published research, and a Premium edition that offers additional services and tools designed for deeper analysis, discovery, and organizational use.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400">For more information about ACM's journey to full open access, visit: <a href="https://maestro.acm.org/trk/click?ref=z16l2snue3_2-31da8_0x344bbex023058" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(193,190,190)" target="_blank"><span style="color:#3498db">https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess</span></a>.</p>
