NEW YORK, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, has relaunched Communications of the ACM (CACM), the organization's flagship magazine, as a web-first publication, accessible to everyone without charge. First published in 1958, CACM is one of the most respected information technology magazines. Providing news, expert commentary, and peer-reviewed research, CACM straddles the lines between a popular science magazine, a technical resource for industry professionals, and a scientific journal. CACM regularly receives very high "impact factors"—a metric used in academic publishing to gauge a publication's influence within its designated field.

Key Points: 
  • NEW YORK, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, has relaunched Communications of the ACM (CACM), the organization's flagship magazine, as a web-first publication, accessible to everyone without charge.
  • In relaunching Communications of the ACM as an open access publication, all legacy and future CACM articles will be freely available to and accessible by everyone on the CACM website and in the ACM Digital Library.
  • The community's continued support of ACM through membership and the ACM Open model is essential to keeping ACM and CACM strong.
  • Even as we change the publication model, the foundation of CACM remains strong as ACM has sufficient resources to support a high-quality editorial process.
