Happy New Year to all! And with the new year comes a new era for the
Association for Computing Machinery.

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.

“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."

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.

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.
