My research is into abstract representation of chemical information, important for other research to be performed. Indeed, my work\nis generally reused, but knowing which research fields my work is used in, or which societal problems it is helping solve, is not\neasily retrieved or determined. Efforts like WikiCite and\nScholia do allow me to navigate the citation network, so that I can determine\nwhich research fields my output influences and which diseases are studied with methods I proposed. Here’s a\nnetwork of topics of articles citing my work:

Graphs like this show information on how people are using my work, which in turn allows me to further support. But this relies on\nopen citations.

In my opinion, citations are an essential part of our research process. It gives us access to import prior work on which a study\nis based, and reflects how a work influences other research or even is essential to that other work. For example, it allows us\nto not repeat earlier published work, while preserving the ability to reproduce the full work. The\nInitiative for Open Citations encourages these citations to be publicly available to benefit research, but\nremoving barriers to access this critical part of scholarly communication. While many societies and publishers have joined this\ninitiative, the American Chemical Society (ACS) has not yet. By not joining the limit the sharing of\nknowledge for unclear reasons.

And I would really like to see the ACS to join this initiative, and proposed this a few times already. Because they still have\nnot joined the initiative, I have started this petition.\nIf you agree, please sign and share it with others.
