New Login Process Links ACS Paragon Plus with ACS ID

The online manuscript submission and peer review environment for ACS journals is called ACS Paragon Plus.

You may have an ACS Paragon Plus ID. You may also have an ACS ID. Or you may not have either. These separate logins are being linked together. After you complete an easy one-time setup, you will need to use only your ACS ID for all your publishing and reviewing activities.
