ACM Announces Innovative Article Linking Service for Authors
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is introducing a new service called ACM Author-Izer. It enables ACM authors to post links on either their own web page or institutional repository for visitors to download the definitive version of their articles from the ACM Digital Library at no charge. ACM Author-Izer also enables the dynamic display of download and citation statistics for each "authorized" article on the author's personal page.By linking the author's personal bibliography with the ACM Digital Library, downloads from the author's site are captured in official ACM statistics, more accurately reflecting total usage. ACM Author-Izer also expands ACM’s reputation as an innovative “Green Path” publisher. This service is based on ACM's strong belief that the computing community should have the widest possible access to the definitive versions of scholarly literature. By making ACM Author-Izer a free service to both authors and visitors to those authors’ websites, ACM is emphasizing its continuing commitment to the interests of its authors and to the computing community in ways that are consistent with its existing subscription access models. For additional information including a PowerPoint presentation that illustrates ACM Author-Izer, visit http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service. Source: ACM
