Global research and education leader Wiley has announced a new pilot agreement with the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC) to accelerate the publication of open access articles across 61 SCELC members and affiliates.
The agreement supports researchers at participating institutions – which span the U.S. states of California, Texas, Hawaii, and others – by delivering unrestricted access to all of Wiley’s hybrid and subscription journals and granting the ability to publish accepted articles open access in all of Wiley's 1,400 hybrid journals.
Open access is a rapidly growing scholarly publishing model that allows peer-reviewed articles to be read, shared, and re-used immediately, making important research broadly available. Research published under the agreement will be accessible for free, enabling wider dissemination of scholarship among both academics and the public alike.
Wiley has open access agreements with a variety of institutions, consortia, and government entities globally, including institutions such as the Carolina Consortium, VIVA, Carnegie Mellon, and Iowa State University in the U.S.
