I'm curious about the financial aspect of publishing in the American Chemical Society (ACS) journals. Could you provide a ballpark estimate of the publication costs for a typical research article? Are there any hidden fees or additional charges that researchers should be aware of? How do the costs compare to other leading scientific publishers? Additionally, are there any discounts or waivers available for early-career researchers or those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds? Understanding the financial implications of publishing in ACS journals is crucial for many researchers, so I'd appreciate your insights.
