The American Chemical Society (ACS) is the world's largest scientific membership association and one of the top ten peer-reviewed science publishers in the world. The Publications Division of ACS has all the characteristics of a medium-sized commercial STM publishing company : its primary competitors for authors, market-share, and talent are Elsevier, Wiley, and Springer / Nature. It is one of two ACS divisions charged with serving a dual function : generating substantial revenue - currently over $200M - to support the Society's programmatic activities and fulfilling a core mission of the Society by advancing knowledge in the field of chemistry and the chemical enterprise. ACS Publications is passionate about supporting the mission of ACS through products and services that meet the most critical needs of researchers and the scientific enterprise. We are ambitious for our customers and believe transformative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) will drive the transformation of our industry, accelerating the dissemination of the scientific discovery needed to address Earth's greatest challenges.

The current target audience includes researchers, authors, reviewers, editors, institutional / corporate librarians, administrators, funders, ACS members, and the range of end-users.
