Wiley

- get a discount when you need to pay for Open Access publishing

In 2022, Danish Universities has entered into a four-year national agreement with the publisher Wiley, dealing with publishing Open Access - among other things.

The agreement with Wiley covers articles accepted from 1 January 2022 to 31 December, 2025.

There is a national cap of 1.110 articles Open Access publications per year in the agreement. There is then a 15% discount on all expenses for publishing Open Access (APC´s) in journals that are covered by the agreement when the limit is reached.

No more, free APCs in 2025
but you can get a 15% discount when paying for Open Access.

When your research article has been accepted for publication in a Wiley journal it is vital that you select DTU as your affiliated institution and that you use your corresponding DTU-mail address, so that you can publish Open Access under the agreement.

  • Use your DTU e-mail as the corresponding author
  • State DTU as your institutional affiliation (Technical University of Denmark)
  • Select Open Access to publish your article without a publication fee
  • Choose a Creative Commons license
    If it is possible to choose between different CC-licenses, then you are encouraged to select a CC BY 4.0 license which is the least restrictive license in the CC-portfolio.
  • The corresponding author that has accepted the manuscript, must be employed or studying at the institution which he or she has credited – in this case DTU.
  • It is possible for the corresponding author to have multiple or several places of employment, so long that one of these places of employment is at an institution which is a part of the applicable agreement, and that the institution in question, is explicitly credited – in this case DTU.
    Examples of multiple places of employment: a university and a hospital, a university and a corporation, two different universities. 
  • Only the corresponding author´s association to DTU is required to publish Open Access under the agreement. 

Who does not qualify as the corresponding author?
Corresponding authors that are, for example emeritus, guest researchers or in any other way associated with DTU are not permitted to publish Open Access under the agreement. 

It is always the corresponding author who is responsible for the publication of the article and any related expenses.

DTU authors can publish Open Access free of charge in Wiley’s hybrid journals as the “corresponding author.”

Which journals are not included

Wiley’s gold Open Access journals are not part of the Wiley Open Access agreement. If you publish in these journals, you will, as usual, need to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) to make your article Open Access.

The following article types are covered by this agreement:

  • Primary research articles
  • Review articles.

The agreement includes cost-free Open Access publishing with a national cap of 1,110 articles per year during the agreement period (2022–2025). After this cap is reached, a 15% discount is applied to the costs of Open Access publishing (APCs) in journals covered by the agreement.

EU’s Horizon Europe framework program
If you have a research grant from the EU’s Horizon Europe framework program or another Plan S-compliant funder, please note that Open Access is required, and APC costs in hybrid journals cannot be covered by the grant. The current agreement with Wiley only includes hybrid journals, and if the limited quota is used up, APC costs cannot be covered by Horizon Europe or another Plan S funder.

The cap
Even if the quota has not been reached at the time of manuscript submission, it is not possible to know whether the APC for publication will be covered by the agreement.
This is because the APC is only covered once the manuscript is formally accepted for publication. If the cost is not covered by the agreement, the corresponding author is responsible for paying the APC.
