Number of included articles
There is no limit on the number of articles that can be published open access in the ACS hybrid journals. For fully open access (gold) journals, that is, the ACS Au journals, a flat $3000 article processing charge (APC) applies. The exception is ACS Omega, for which the APC is already heavily discounted.
