Open Access

Driven by global engineering communities, ASME ensures that high-quality, rigorously peer-reviewed content is accessible and available to everyone, while also supporting compliance with government and funder mandates for OA publication, including Plan S for European-funded research.

ASME offers the option for authors to publish their papers Open Access across all our hybrid journals, or in our fully Open Access ASME Open Journal of Engineering with payment of an Article Publishing Charge (APC).
