University Libraries Announce Agreement With Wiley
The University Libraries are pleased to announce an agreement with Wiley that will enable U of A researchers to make their journal articles open access without paying a publishing charge.
Wiley, one of the world's largest publishers and a global leader in research and learning, publishes nearly 2,000 scholarly journals across a range of disciplines. In order to be eligible for coverage under this agreement, the corresponding author for an article must be affiliated with the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, as faculty, staff, postdoc or student. The article must be submitted for peer review to an open access journal on or after Jan. 1, 2024, or accepted for publication as an open access article in a hybrid journal on or after Jan. 1, 2024.
"The University Libraries have negotiated a handful of such transformative agreements with other publishers, but this is our first with a major commercial publisher," said Melody Herr, scholarly communication librarian. "We've heard so many requests for an agreement with Wiley - and this new deal has already benefited UAF researchers. The agreement also benefits the broader community because open access makes UAF research freely available on the web."
"We're excited to partner with UAF to make more of its research and innovative findings openly available to scholars," said Kathryn Sharples, vice president, Open Research, Wiley.
