All ACM REP 2026 papers will be published under **ACM Open**.

Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 2,600 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 76%).

Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of [participating institutions](https://libraries.acm.org/acmopen/open-participants) in ACM Open and review the [Policy on APC Waivers for Financial Hardship](https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/policy-on-discretionary-open-access-apc-waivers). Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.

Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:

- $250 APC for ACM/SIG members
- $350 for non-members

This represents a [65% discount](https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess), funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period. This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.

For authors who are not able to cover their APCs, the [ACM REP Emerging Interest Group](https://reproducibility.acm.org/) will work with the ACM REP 2026 conference to identify ways of providing support.
