UW Libraries, as a part of BTAA libraries, have reached an agreement with Wiley for a one-year contract with an Open Access (OA) publishing option, as a pilot. Some BTAA libraries opted to participate in the OA option, and UW-Madison is one of those libraries.

UW-Madison authors publishing as the corresponding author in any of Wiley’s hybrid journals may publish OA at no cost or at a discount. This agreement also maintains our existing access to Wiley’s online journals collection. Specifically, from now through December 31, 2022, UW-Madison has 250 credits to publish OA in Wiley hybrid journals. A 10% article processing charge discount may be applied after the 250 credits are used. There are helpful FAQs for authors at the bottom of this BTAA WIley agreement info page: https://go.wisc.edu/g6g10y.

Choosing to make an article OA is part of the Wiley publishing workflow. Once an article has been accepted in a Wiley hybrid journal, the corresponding author may opt to make it OA. If the corresponding author indicates an affiliation with UW-Madison, they will be presented with an option to use one of the 250 credits or to take advantage of the 10% discount once the credits have been used up. Additional details and information on how to publish OA in Wiley hybrid journals is available at the Wiley authors’ page: https://go.wisc.edu/7r899z.
