As of October 13, 2024, 6% of the 2024 calendar year allocation of Open Access fee-waived articles remains for Wiley.
The Wiley deal has a maximum number of articles per year that may be published as Open Access under this agreement. When the 2024 calendar year limit is 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.
In addition to current online access to all Wiley journal titles, OhioLINK has negotiated an upgraded agreement with Wiley that offers open-access publishing benefits for authors at no cost.
Students, faculty, and staff at most OhioLINK member institutions now can publish open access (OA) journal articles 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.
Starting in 2024 through 2026, fully open-access journals are now also eligible for the open-access publishing benefits under this deal.
There is a statewide publication limit, so it is first-come-first-serve processing.
NEW: OhioLINK's 2024-2026 open-access deal with Wiley applies to articles published in both their hybrid and fully open-access journals. "Hybrid" means that the journal publishes articles that are available both by subscription and through open access. Fully open-access journals refer to those that only allow authors to publish articles as open access.
