FAQ

I鈥檓 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?

The details of the process differ for Wiley hybrid, Wiley gold, and Hindawi journals. 

For Wiley hybrid journals, you will use the Wiley submission system. Once your article has been accepted, upon logging into the Wiley Author Dashboard, you will see the option to make it OA. As part of Wiley鈥檚 OA request workflow, you must indicate your affiliation with a participating BTAA institution. 

For Wiley gold journals, you will use the Wiley article submission system. At the time you submit your article, in the Article Publication Charge section, you must select 鈥淢y institution or funder has an agreement with Wiley鈥︹�� To indicate your affiliation with a participating BTAA institution, use Wiley鈥檚 Account Code Tool to find your institution鈥檚 Account Code, and then enter it into the submission form. You will receive an email confirming that if your article is accepted, it will be published OA at no cost to you. 

For Hindawi journals, you will use the Hindawi submission system. At the time you submit the article, in the Manuscript & Author Details section, indicate your affiliation with a participating BTAA institution. Hindawi will forward this information to Wiley. You will receive an email from Wiley confirming that if your article is accepted, it will be published OA at no cost to you.

Is my accepted article eligible?

Eligible publications have a corresponding author from a participating BTAA institution, 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 journal or submitted and accepted to a Wiley gold or Hindawi journal during the term of the agreement.

How does Wiley define hybrid and gold journals? 

Wiley鈥檚 hybrid journals are subscription-based journals that offer authors the option to publish their articles OA. Within a Wiley hybrid journal, some articles are OA, and some are restricted to subscribers. Wiley鈥檚 gold journals are fully Open Access journals. Within a Wiley gold OA journal, all articles are OA. This agreement covers publishing in both Wiley hybrid and gold journals.

Is there anything more I need to do if my work is made Open Access through this agreement?

It depends!  If you or any of your co-authors have funding from the US federal government or one of many other funders, you may have a requirement to share your article in a specific location.  Please ensure you follow your funder requirements to avoid jeopardizing future funding.

I鈥檇 like to publish in a journal not covered by this agreement. Why is that journal asking me to pay to make my work open access? Can the library pay my APC for that journal?
