JMIR Publications and Jisc expanded their Flat-Fee Unlimited Open Access Partnership effective August 1, 2025, adding six UK institutions: the University of Manchester, University of Nottingham, Newcastle University, University of Leeds, University of Southampton, and University of Warwick.
For affiliated researchers, the flat-fee arrangement removes individual Article Processing Charges (APCs) across JMIR’s 30+ Gold Open Access journals. With these additions, 22 Jisc-member institutions now participate, 9 of which joined in 2025 already.
Since 2022, the partnership has enabled nearly half of JMIR articles by UK authors to be published without an APC. The expanded agreement runs August 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026 for publishing in all JMIR journals.
