University of Rochester is participating in the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Subscribe to Open (S2O) initiative by maintaining our existing subscriptions to select ASM journals.
Under S2O, the accessibility of ASM's previously subscriber-only content will depend on continued support from subscribers. ASM will establish a minimum sustainability target each year to fund the journals. If the target is met, that year's content will be made open access. If the target is not met, the content will remain available only to subscribers. (Target deadline extended to Mar. 31 2025)
Authors at subscribing institutions will receive guaranteed open access publishing regardless of whether the sustainability target is met.
