Open Access Launches

Wiley launched our first gold Open Access journals in 2011, and since then

our program has grown to 121 Gold OA titles (and counting)

Before launching any new OA

title, careful market analysis

is undertaken to ensure that

each new journal fills a gap

within the subject community

and has its own unique aims

and scopes. Our new journal

launches cover a wide variety

of subjects and disciplines, both in partnership with societies as well as our own proprietary

titles. Each OA title added to the Wiley portfolio cements our commitment to the requirements

of authors and researchers who want to be able to easily and freely access the latest research

articles.

Wiley’s new OA journals cater to a wide variety of researchers needs, with titles that publish

research on a sound science value and ethos, such as Ecology and Evolution, through to cutting

edge research, as shown with our new high impact titles such as Neuroscience Next.

Transitioning Journals to OA

Since 2012 we have successfully transitioned 25 titles to Open Access. We have more planned for 2020 and the

years to follow, subject to the same market analysis as our new OA launches. Before

transitioning a title to a fully Gold OA model, there are a number of considerations we

take into account, such as:

• Subject discipline: is the subject community receptive to a transition to Open Access?

• Availability of funding: is there funding to cover Articles Processing Charges (APCs)?

• Geographical distribution of authors: are the majority of authors from countries

with established gold OA activity or covered by Research4Life initiative?

• Journal type: does the journal publish many article types that are not suited to an APC

model (such as reviews titles)?

• Finances: with all these considerations above, does the modelling show a sustainable

revenue stream for the journal and our partners?

We have seen increases in Impact Factor in all journals that we have flipped across varying subject disciplines*

What about the Impact Factor?

What happens when a journal ‘Flips’ to OA?

We have seen usage (full text downloads) increase significantly during the year of the transition to Open Access and this trend continues after the transition year. On average, usage more than doubles in the transition year*

Transitioning the Market

Transitioning individual journals to Open Access allows us to meet the Open Access

needs of specific subject and author communities. However, Wiley is also committed to delivering Open Access options on a larger scale via the negotiation of country-level agreements. These

agreements allow authors to choose the OA publishing option in any of our Hybrid journals with no

charge to the author – APCs are covered by the agreement. In addition, several of these agreements also

make provision for publishing in any of our 100+ Gold Open Access titles.

The table below summarizes the agreements currently in place and the options available for authors:

Breaking News: First open access agreements in the US. Although not national level agreements, we recently announced two new agreements with library consortia in Virginia and Ohio in to enable their researchers to publish Open Access.

Looking to the Future: More and more countries are keen to deliver 100% open access to their research output. We are committed to negotiating agreements that deliver transitions in a way that maintains a sustainable business for the journals that we publish.

What do these deals mean for you?

All of these deals make it easier for

authors to publish their research open

access, and to benefit from the ability

to share their research widely. Please

speak to your JPM to find out more about

how your journal can benefit from these

agreements.

Open Access helps us accelerate progress in the sharing and dissemination, impact and visibility of quality research
