ACS will provide Open Access Discount Tokens, each valued at $1,000, which AGFD Division members may use as the corresponding author for a discount against the Article Processing Charge for the publication of an Open Access manuscript in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, ACS Agricultural Science & Technology, or ACS Food Science & Technology that will be published on or before December 31st, 2025. Each AGFD Division member may only use one OA Discount Token as the corresponding author during 2025; however, if they are a co-author on another paper where a different AGFD Division member uses an OA Discount Token as the corresponding author, then that is fine. To receive a token, AGFD Division members can email me at managing.editor@jafc.acs.org upon submission of their manuscript to the journal to request an Open Access Discount Token.

Note that these tokens are only eligible for manuscripts published on or before December 31st, given that the peer review process typically takes around 3 months.
