流程

1. 當稿件被接受，館員跟作者會 同時 收到通知信，

2. 作者要選的是，他是否同意自己的文章以OA發表，也可以選擇不要。

3. 館員要批准的則是，是否為本校師生。(這兩者是獨立作業)，其餘過程皆由出版社直接和作者聯繫。

4. 若館員已經批准，但是作者選擇非OA，通常是因為作者還不知道可以免費發表，因此出版社會主動發信通知作者並重新確認意願。

5. 如果作者決定改以OA發表，他會被要求重新簽署JPA文件。若仍堅持用非OA發表，則ACS會人工將APC贊助退還。(即把扣掉的Token再還回)

Process:

1. When a manuscript is accepted, both the librarian and the author will receive a notification simultaneously.

2. The author needs to choose whether to agree to publish their article in OA format or can choose not to.

3. The librarian needs to approve whether the article is a submission from a faculty or student of our university (these are independent operations).
The remaining process will be handled directly by the publisher and the author.

4. If the librarian has already approved but the author chooses not to publish in OA, it is usually because the author is not aware that they can publish for free. Therefore, the publisher will proactively send an email to inform the author and reconfirm their willingness.

5. If the author decides to publish in OA format, they will be asked to re-sign the JPA document. If they still insist on publishing in non-OA format, ACS will manually refund the APC sponsorship (i.e., return the deducted tokens).
