In March 2014, an ECS ad hoc Committee on the Free Dissemination of Research evaluated the evolving publishing landscape and the viability of transitioning to an Open Access publications model. They determined that in addition to maintaining our high standards of peer review, ECS should pursue complete Open Access to keep our publications relevant and sustainable.
In May 2015, the ECS Board of Directors approved launching the Free the Science campaign to help fund the transition to complete Open Access by 2024.
The official launch of the fundraising campaign was in May 2016 at the 229th ECS Meeting in San Diego, CA. There ECS Executive Director Roque Calvo spoke to those in attendance about how they can support the campaign and introduced the video to be used as part of the effort.
