ACM Open

  • It is always preferable that you submit your manuscript using your @utoronto / @mail.utoronto email address or by selecting the University of Toronto as your primary affiliation. Not doing so may preclude you from the deal or delay the publication process.
  • Once an invoice is paid, most publishers are unable to offer refunds. Please ensure applicable discounts have been applied before paying.
  • A corresponding author is generally understood to be the individual who takes primary responsibility for communication with the journal during the submission, peer review and publication process.

As of July 1, 2025, University of Toronto-affiliated researchers are eligible for a fully funded APC discount in ACM Open journal titles. 

Approval Process / UofT Validation

Affiliated Author(s): Authors who correctly list themselves as affiliated with the University of Toronto during the  article submission and eRights selection process. Authors shall be deemed affiliated with the University of Toronto if the email address they provide to ACM during the article submission process is part of the list of domain names provided by the Consortium Member or shall be identified through other means as agreed between the Consortium Member and ACM during the term of this Agreement. All affiliated authors listed on accepted and published articles must provide valid email addresses including their institutions’ domain names, and valid ORCIDs, so that ACM systems can properly identify them as affiliated authors
