Our open access publishing agreements with Wiley\/Hindawi and Springer Nature will reach their caps before the end of the year. This may impact eligibility for free open access for some researchers.

The open access publishing agreement with Wiley is predicted to reach its annual article allocation by the end of September<\/strong>. Changes to the open access approval process are outlined below.<\/p>\n Hybrid journals<\/strong> Hybrid journals represent the majority of Wiley\u2019s journals.<\/p>\n Fully open access journals<\/strong> Authors who submit articles to Wiley\u2019s fully open access journals after <\/em>30 September will need to pay the necessary charges. A 10% discount will be available to eligible authors.<\/p>\n 2025 and beyond<\/strong> The open access publishing agreement with Springer is predicted to reach its annual article allocation by the second week of October. After this date, there will be no further open access approvals. The cap is finite. Articles can still be published with subscription access, but if authors wish to publish open access, they will need to pay the article processing charge (APC) themselves.<\/p>\n There are multiple pathways to publishing open access, besides our read and publish agreements. These include:<\/p>\n Our other open access agreements continue to be available. This means that researchers may still be eligible for free open access through a different journal. Find out more information about them, including which journals are included, on the Open Access: Publishing Agreements guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n Open access publishing agreements<\/a> are designed to support the transition to an open scholarly publishing system. They take the library\u2019s existing expenditure on subscriptions and repurpose it to cover both reading and publishing in that publisher\u2019s journals. When you publish in a journal that\u2019s included in one of the agreements, your article will be made open access and you won\u2019t have to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). Some of our agreements are subject to a limitation (or \u201ccap\u201d) on the number of individual articles that can be made open access per year. Sometimes the cap is reached before the end of the year.<\/p>\n Please\u00a0contact your librarian<\/strong><\/a> with any questions about open access publishing.<\/p>\n ___________________________________________<\/p>\n Library Research News<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a regular publication from the library, publishing library-related news for Deakin researchers.
