Acta Acustica: Exploring the Transition to Diamond Open Access

Since January 2020, Acta Acustica is published in "gold" open access. Articles are available for all to read, share and reuse. Authors pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) to publish in the journal. Some APC discounts and waivers are available.

We are now studying the feasibility to transition the journal to "diamond" open access. Under this model, a mix of funders would cover the costs to publish in the journal, and authors would not be required to pay an APC.

As part of this feasibility study, we are conducting a survey on attitudes to open access and funding support available in your community. The link is here.

We value your input! Take a few minutes to share your perspective by completing the survey.
