Researcher Essentials

• Wiley Hybrid Journals: NB. The majority of Wiley journals are hybrid.  For the remainder of 2024 (October - December) , open access publishing in Wiley's hybrid journals APC free will no longer be possible. This will result in authors receiving denial messages directly from CAUL. Authors will have the option to either:
  • publish via the subscription route (article accessible to subscribing institutions / paying individuals only) OR
  • pay the associated APC with a 10% discount to make their article OA.
• Wiley Fully Open Access Journals: For authors submitting to fully OA journals 

  • after 30 September and accepted before 31 December 2024, their articles will not be covered by the CAUL Agreement. Authors will be required to pay the APC with a 10% discount.

  • Articles submitted prior to 30 September will continue to be supported throughout 2024.
• 2025 Agreement: CAUL has not yet finalised an agreement with Wiley for 2025. The current agreement expires on 31 December 2024. Hybrid articles accepted after September 2024 must continue to publication  - they will not be eligible for OA in any 2025 agreement. Similarly, fully OA articles submitted after 30 September and accepted in before 31 December 2024 must pay the APC. No coverage will be provided by the CAUL agreement, and authors will be directed to an author-pays route with a 10% discount for the APC.
