Open Access Publishing Deals (was: Read & Publish Agreements): Wiley and Hindawi

This guide explains open access publishing deals provided for UC researchers by the Library.

Wiley & Hindawi - Read & Publish Agreement

The Wiley publishing cap is very close to being reached for 2024 - only articles which were submitted to gold OA journals before 30 September 2024 will be approved.

No further hybrid articles will be accepted. See the CAUL information page for more details.

Hybrid journals - authors who have not yet submitted their article may choose to either:

  • publish via the subscription route and self-archive a version of the article or 
  • pay an APC to make their article open access. Eligible authors choosing to pay an APC will receive a 10% discount.

Gold journals - authors who submit articles to Wiley’s fully open access journals after 30 September will need to pay the necessary APCs. A 10% APC discount will be available to eligible authors.

This agreement will be renegotiated for 2025.

Journals included in this agreement

This agreement allows for publishing in most of Wiley's hybrid and gold open access journals with no transactional article processing charges (APCs).
