CWRU Open Access Agreements and Other Funding

CWRU authors are able to publish open access at no cost in select journals through agreements with several publishers. This guide provides details on each agreement for CWRU authors as well as alternative no cost options and funding possibilities..

Note on Article Limits for 2024

The 2024 calendar year limit has been reached for Open Access fee-waived publishing through Wiley.

The Wiley deal has a maximum number of articles per year that may be published as Open Access under this agreement. The 2024 calendar year limit has been reached. Corresponding authors will no longer see the option to publish Open Access at no charge during their article publishing process. Corresponding authors have two options: 1) they can choose to publish Open Access on their own and pay the APC, or 2) if they are submitting to a hybrid journal, they can choose to publish the article under the traditional subscription access model at no charge, then submit the Accepted [peer reviewed] manuscript version to CWRU's open access repository, Scholarly Commons. For more information on submitting to Scholarly Commons, contact scholarlycomm@case.edu.

Agreement Details

Through our OhioLINK agreement, CWRU students, faculty, and staff can publish open access (OA) in 1,400 hybrid journals published by Wiley at no additional cost to either the author or the institution. Access to the publishing benefits begins March 1, 2022, and continues through December 31, 2026.  This means that to publish an article as open access in a Wiley hybrid journal without paying any Article Publication Charge (APC), the article must be accepted for publication during this period. Any extra page or color image charges are the responsibility of the author.

  • March 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026
  • Select hybrid journals and fully OA journals are eligible for the OA fee coverage (see lists below)
  • Statewide publication limit based on calendar year (Jan.-Dec.), so it is first-come-first-serve processing.

"Hybrid" means that the journal publishes articles that are available both by subscription and through open access. Fully OA journals refer to those that only allow authors to publish articles as open access.
