Agreement duration: The UNSW agreement is from 1st January 2022 - 31st December 2025, or until the annual publication cap is reached.
Acceptance date: Eligible articles that have an acceptance date during the term of this agreement or up to the annual publication cap are eligible to be published open access under the terms of the agreement.
Summary: Wiley offers journals in the areas of life, health, physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities disciplines. This agreement provides a shared allowance or publication cap of 6,900 articles in 2025 to responsible corresponding authors across all participating institutions. The allowance is calculated to be 101% of articles published across Wiley titles in 2021. Once the allowance is used, responsible corresponding authors of any additional articles accepted in 2025 may choose to publish articles as "closed access" or to pay an APC for the article to be published open access.
Titles included: 2025 Wiley Read and Publish Title List
Information for authors: UNSW corresponding authors must use their UNSW institutional email address (name@unsw.edu.au) to be eligible under this agreement. While page and colour charges are not included under the terms of this agreement, as of March 2023, all page and colour fees have been eliminated from Wiley’s fully open access journals.

How to submit your article for open access publishing:
The submitted article will go through thorough peer review.
On acceptance of the article, the UNSW responsible* corresponding author selects open access, confirms the licence type, and indicates their UNSW affiliation using Wiley Author Services.
For more information on the author workflow refer to this step-by-step guide on publishing open access in Wiley hybrid journals.
* Each article may have more than one corresponding author, but there is only a single designated 'responsible corresponding author' who will be in charge of the administrative details for the article.
Corresponding authors should not use personal email addresses (e.g. Hotmail, Gmail) or email addresses affiliated with other organisations, research centres or institutes. Otherwise they may be ineligible under the terms of this agreement.
