Open Access Publishing Partnerships

Wiley Open Access Agreement

In partnership with the BTAA, Purdue University has entered into a read and publish agreement with Wiley. Corresponding authors affiliated with participating Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) member universities¹ may publish open access in any of Wiley's hybrid journals (subscription-based journals that offer an open access option) or Wiley or Hindawi fully open access journals without having to pay Article Processing Charges (APCs). This agreement is effective beginning January 1, 2023.

Open Access Publishing Opportunities

Eligible authors from participating institutions may publish OA in Wiley or Hindawi journals at no cost to themselves, throughout the terms of the agreement. Corresponding authors who are currently affiliated with Purdue University-West Lafayette, Purdue University Fort Wayne, or Purdue University Northwest are eligible.

Who is eligible to participate?

Corresponding authors at Purdue University - West Lafayette, Purdue Fort Wayne, and Purdue Northwest are eligible to participate.

I’m a corresponding author at a participating institution. What do I need to do to publish Open Access at no cost to me under this agreement?

Choosing to make an article OA is part of the Wiley publishing workflow. Once your article has been accepted in a Wiley hybrid journal, upon logging into the Wiley Author Dashboard, you will see the option to make it OA. As part of Wiley’s OA request workflow, you must indicate your institutional affiliation with a participating Purdue University campus. Once you request OA, it will be submitted to your library for eligibility approval. If your library approves your request, your article will be published OA at no cost to you.

You must accept the offer to make your article OA at the time your article is accepted for publication. Your article is no longer eligible once it is published in Early View or In Issue online.

Is my article eligible?

Eligible publications have a corresponding author from Purdue University, are primary research and review articles (which may include original articles, case studies, reviews, and short communications), and are accepted for publication in a Wiley hybrid open access journal, or a Wiley or Hindawi open access journal.

Which Wiley journals are eligible?

All Wiley hybrid journals (subscription-based journals that offer an open access option) are eligible for this agreement as well as all Wiley and Hindawi open access journals. A full list of Wiley journals is available online.

I still have questions. Who can I ask?
