Open Access Publishing Agreements: Wiley

The four year IReL-Wiley agreement allows eligible corresponding authors in participating institutions to publish original research and review articles open access upon publication at no extra cost.

Agreement period: 1 Jan 2025 – 31 Dec 2028

OA quota per year (shared among participating institutions):

2025: 582 hybrid journal articles; 196 Gold journal articles.

2027: 606 hybrid journal articles; 204 Gold journal articles.
2028: 618 hybrid journal articles; 208 Gold journal articles.

Note for Authors Submitting Gold (Fully Open Access) Journals:
Please be aware that this Open Access (OA) agreement has limited annual APC quota. This means there is a risk that OA funding may no longer be available by the time the article is accepted for publication.
If funding is no longer available at the point of acceptance, the APC must be covered through alternative sources.

Funding approval is initially given at the time of submission but it is conditional on funding still being available at the time of acceptance. If it is forecasted that the annual quota will be exhausted by then, the OA agreement will not be offered at submission, and the author will need to secure alternative funding.

NOTE: a small number of Wiley subscription-only journals are excluded.
