- Code and slides for presentation to the ACS Spring 2021 Meeting. The final presentation can be found at: https://curtin-open-knowledge-initiative.github.io/presentation-acs2021/ The main code repository is at: https://github.com/Curtin-Open-Knowledge-Initiative/presentation-acs2021 Abstract Open Access is now the dominant mode of scholarly communications, but not in chemistry. The American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry are unusual amongst scholarly societies for having large publishing programs and unusual amongst publishers for having such large and diverse membership. The two societies took different approaches in addressing the different open access policies of the UK and the US. This did not lead to something so simple as a concentration of UK publishing with the RSC or vice versa but a much more interesting set of changes. This talk will make a data-led exploration of how open access is changing chemistry publishing and what implications it has for the scholarly societies and their publishing operations. Code and approach Data is derived from the Academic Observatory, a product of the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative. The data is an integration of resources from Crossref, Microsoft Academic, Unpaywall, GRID and Open Citations, processed through an open source workflow system. The talk is built in reveal.js using precipy to generate the graphs for the slides. The code pulls data from the observatory and processes it using pandas and plotly to generate interactive HTML figures, which are inserted into the slidedeck. The slidedeck is pure HTML5/css/javascript although the css could do with a bunch of work to improve the formatting on more browsers.
