Eligibility

Typically, open access journals charge an APC to cover the publishing costs. Under theWiley-Projekt DEAL agreement, centralized funding is available to eligible authors to pay for
the APCs and the “Publish and Read (PAR)” fees.*

The Wiley-Projekt DEAL agreement aims to make open access publishing easy for you. You
can publish your articles in more than 1,300 hybrid and 550+ gold OA Wiley and Hindawi
journals, while the publishing costs related to the agreement will be paid centrally byparticipating institutions.* You can also read all articles published in Wiley journals, datingback to 1997.

At Wiley, authors retain the copyright for their articles under a Creative Commons License
so authors who publish open access do not need to transfer the copyright to the publisher.

With Creative Commons Licenses, the author retains copyright and the public is allowed toreuse the content under different circumstances. The most liberal license is CC-BY. Whenyou publish open access with Wiley, you grant a license to publish the article and to identify
Wiley as the original publisher.
