ACS Guide to Scholarly Communication (annual subscription):
The new Guide covers all instructions from previous editions of The ACS Style Guide completely updated and modernized—as well as a wealth of brand new chapters covering everything from preprints, Open Access, machine-readable data, and much more. Additional content will be added regularly to expand on communication methods and data organization

The Guide includes useful features, such as:

• Multimedia examples to clarify complex concepts
• Hyperlinking between chapters makes it easy to refer back to related topics
• Regularly revised and expanded to include the most up-to-date information on existing and emerging topics

Editors representing all areas of science, from journals to industry leaders, ensure all interests are included

ACS In Focus (one-time purchase):

The first series in this collection is called The Inaugural Collection. This group differs from traditional ebooks in the sense that these are shorter and on very specific topics meant to get readers quickly up to speed on the research in that defined area.

Benefits of ACS In Focus:

• ACS In Focus e-books are quick 4-6 hour reads using non-specialist language that topic newcomers can easily digest and are delivered in our new e-reader platform
• Targeted at the undergrad major who is beginning to look beyond the standard curriculum, to the practicing scientists looking to keep current with their collaborators
• Renowned ACS In Focus authors cover a broad range of emerging topics, important techniques and related applications, careers options, and ways in which topics are applied in business and industry

Each e-book includes several reader-friendly features, such as:

• Authored Multimedia: complex concepts explained via molecular models, video, and more
• Check Your Understanding: eight to ten end-of-book questions, with answers provided by video by the field’s key players (with transcript)
• Read These Next: suggested content, often review articles to read after the e-book
• Pop-up glossary: quickly learn the definitions of key terms
• That’s a Wrap: bulleted end-of-chapter summary
