OA quota per year: a limited annual publishing fund *projected* to cover all articles from members’ eligible authors:
- 2021: ~535 articles.
- 2022:
- up to 660 articles in Wiley’s hybrid journals, which is equivalent to over 100% of the projected hybrid OA output in prior years.
- A separate fund is available for articles accepted for publication in Wiley’s fully-OA journals.
- 2023:
- 670 hybrid journal articles. As of 20 September, we project that this allocation will last for the full year (ie, it will cover all eligible articles where the author chooses OA).
- A separate fund is available for articles accepted for publication in Wiley’s fully-OA journals. This fund will run out in mid-September 2023. Note that funding is allocated to articles on journal submission so there is no risk of articles not having funding available when they are accepted for publication. Fees for rejected articles will be returned to the fund.
- 2024:
- 680 hybrid journal articles
- A separate fund is available for articles accepted for publication in Wiley’s fully-OA journals.
