LibGuides@Southampton: Open Access & Institutional Repository: Wiley/Hindawi

This agreement is available to current University staff and students; visitors are not eligible.

From 01/01/2023, the Jisc Wiley agreement is open to all University of Southampton Responsible Corresponding Authors submitting original research and review articles to Wiley and Hindawi journals. Please use your soton.ac.uk email address and affiliation throughout the submission process and your article will be published open access at no cost to the authors.

You must be identified as the Responsible Corresponding Author (RCA) in the Wiley Author Services submission system.

Wiley Responsible Corresponding Author (RCA) process
The Responsible Corresponding Author (RCA) role will identify the sole author who will be responsible for key post-publication actions and whose institutional affiliations will be used to determine eligibility for APC coverage.

Please follow the author walkthrough to ensure your article is included:

Author walkthrough for fully open access journals.
Author walkthrough for Online Open (hybrid) journals.

Additional information:

We will only approve articles that have a CC BY licence rather than CC BY-NC or CC BY-ND
Our agreement covers the open access cost (APC) only, we cannot fund any additional publication fees or excess page charges.
Includes all Hindawi journals, plus Wiley and AGU fully open access journals and hybrid journals offering Online Open.

The current agreement ends 31/12/2023 with a capped number of credits across participating institutions each year.

Please note that the agreement runs on an annual fixed number of national credits. When the credits start to run low, there will be additional eligibility restrictions based on original research funder, meaning that only UKRI, Wellcome and CRUK funded corresponding authors will be eligible. Wiley will alert us in advance of the change and we will update this page. Update 18/7/22: in 2021, the change took effect in July but the current prediction for 2022 is that enough credits remain that restrictions will not be imposed.
