Discover the current open access publishing agreements in place, allowing options for publishing research open access at no cost to the author.

Agreement details

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 Feb 2022 – 31 Dec 2024

UPDATE (8th July, 2024): List of Wiley's hybrid journals switching to gold

The following Wiley’s hybrid journals will become fully gold open access journals on 1 January 2025.
The date beside each journal below is the "Date of Conversion", which is the date when new submissions to the journal will have to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC) if they are accepted for publication. Articles must be submitted before the date of conversion of each journal. All three journals will transition to fully gold on 1 January 2025. 

  • Functional Ecology  - 16 July 2024 - APC List price $2,900.
  • Learned Publishing - *August 2024 - APC List price $2,080.
  • Financial Planning Review  - *TBC 2024 - No APC (flipping to diamond OA).

*These dates will be defined soon. Visit this page to keep track of exact conversion dates.
Please note: Financial Planning Review is changing to diamond open access. This means that publishing open access will have no APC.

UPDATE (19th June, 2024):  fully OA journal APC quota is now expected to run out by late August 2024. NOTE: for Wiley's hybrid journals (most Wiley titles), APC quota is projected to last until the end of the year.
