Solved: [Library Network] Access to American Chemical Society is rejected

 On 2025-05-13 (529 reads)

Solved. (2025/05/14)

Kyoto University has been blocked from accessing content on the ACS Publications website due to an excessive download violation.

Publishers of e-journals and e-books are prohibited from accessing all pages, not only the full text, but also the table of contents and abstracts, with excessive frequency, thus overloading the servers.
If excessive access or large downloads are detected, penalties such as blocking access to e-journals from the entire university will be imposed by publisher.

Please read the "[Library Network] Conditions of Use and Licensing Restrictions for E-Resources" announced on April 25, 2025, and review the settings of your browser and reference management tool plug-ins.
