Wiley Read and Publish agreement: eligibility restrictions on OA publishing from 01 July 2021

UPDATE: from 1 July 2021 the Wiley Read and Publish agreement will be limited to UKRI, Wellcome Trust and former COAF funded research articles only. This is due to an article cap and temporary restrictions on the Wiley Open Access Accounts put in place by Jisc and Wiley.

The University of Leicester is a participating Jisc member institution of this transitional open access agreement and we will provide further updates if there is any change in eligibility criteria later in the year. This current restriction will last until 01st January 2022, when the 2022 funds will be made available.

So which Leicester authors are eligible from 01st July 2021?

Corresponding authors affiliated with the University of Leicester who are funded by UKRI, Wellcome, British Heart Foundation, and Cancer Research UK are eligible. They are able to publish their research and review articles immediately as open access (OA) in over 1,400 hybrid open access journals and 230+ fully open access journals. Wiley provide further information and FAQs on their Wiley Author's information hub.

Transformative agreements and publisher discounts available to Leicester authors

To support University of Leicester affiliated authors to publish, the library holds several agreements with major publishers providing discounts on open access article processing charge (APCS) or in some cases, no APC payment at all. For further information on the current transformative agreements we have signed up to, including information on eligibility criteria is available on our transformative deals sharepoint page.
