ACS Publications and Consortia
We work with 100 consortia with users in 80 countries
Consortia represent 80% of usage 70% of revenues
Institutions in consortia pay ~10% less than unaffiliated institutions for ACS content

Addressing Customer Concerns
No one-time payment option for Archives 2006: Introduced one-time payment option
Paying for same content multiple times 2006: Removed rolling access model
No content archiving plan 2006 - 2008: Participating in CLOCKSS
project; discussions with Portico
E-pricing based on historical print purchases, including duplicates 2007 - 2009: Planned introduction
of new pricing model

Towards a New Model
Tier-based models have been introduced by Societies and not-for-profit publishers
New model must include a new way of calculating journal prices Value-based metrics (usage,
impact factors, citations) Account for different types of institutions
Discuss with customers in advance Plan to introduce to US and Canadian
customers in 2007; other countries to follow in 2008 and 2009
Transition plan necessary to migrate, over time, institutions which will experience significant change (up or down)

ACS 2007 Pricing Model (under development)
Create tiers based on Carnegie classifications
Include usage percentiles within tiers to account for different types of institutions within tiers (eg, some offer more chemistry courses than others)
Differentiate between types of institutions (eg, academic, corporate, government) with different requirements
