In most cases we encounter, the answer is yes, but the steps you have to take and whether there is a fee or no fee varies and depends on:

Who are you? Are you the author or the author’s employer, or a reader?

Which version of the article are you requesting to reuse?

Under what license was the source article published?

How much content will be reused from the source article?

For what purpose are you requesting reuse? And (if excerpt or article will be published again) under what license will the new work be made available?

Are there special funder or institutional requirements you have for this article as the author?

– the posting is for non-commercial purposes and adheres to ACS’ Ethical Guidelines to Publication of Chemical Research

– You include a specific statement noting that this is an accepted manuscript version, and link to the final published work.

For other reuse requests and readers reuse requests should be placed through the RightsLink system (*more next slide)
