Wiley agreement update

Wiley is currently setting up our new account. Contractually, articles that have completed the publisher's open access approval workflow during this period will be matched to our new account.

We are aware that authors across the sector are receiving contradictory emails from Wiley. JISC is raising these issues with Wiley and has asked for clarification on their transition process.

Eligible articles will be published open access with no fee payable. Authors should not pay any article processing charges during the account setup period, as the publisher is unable to reimburse payments.

Please contact us if you are affected, as we are gathering evidence to ensure these issues are actively resolved.

Wiley will have an open access publishing agreement with the University of Birmingham. This agreement allows Univerity of Birmingham affiliated corresponding authors (subject to the eligibility criteria listed below) to publish open access at no additional cost in both fully OA and hybrid titles.

This deal has a cap on the number of articles that can be covered nationally through this agreement. We will update this page if this impacts on UoB authors use of the deal.

Eligibility criteria

  • This agreement covers research articles accepted on or after 1 January 2022.
  • The agreement is only available for the following article types:
    • primary research
    • review articles
  • The article's 'responsible corresponding author' must be affiliated to the University of Birmingham, and ensure their @bham.ac.uk email address is used on submission to the journal.
  • Any additional page, colour or other charges will not be covered through this agreement or the open access budget.

Next steps

  • If you meet the eligibility criteria for this agreement, you can submit to the journal.
  • Always create a record in Pure upon acceptance and link to any funding acknowledged in the article.
