Global research and education leader Wiley has announced a new three year agreement with CAUL, the leadership organization for university libraries in Australia and New Zealand, to begin in 2022. The largest transformational agreement to date in Australia and New Zealand, it highlights Wiley’s global commitment to the proactive pursuit of open access and will transform the experience of thousands of researchers publishing with Wiley, representing a momentous change in the publishing landscape of the region.
The agreement, which represents Wiley’s first in the region, allows members of CAUL unrestricted access to all of Wiley’s hybrid and subscription journals and grants researchers at the 52 participating institutions the ability to publish accepted articles open access in all of Wiley's 1,400 hybrid journals. This agreement will dramatically increase open access output in the region by more than 6,000 articles every year of the agreement, furthering the global discoverability and impact of published research and delivering on many of the objectives recently laid out by the Office of the Chief Scientist of Australia.
In partnership with more than 70 leading societies across Australia, Wiley publishes many of the country’s most prestigious journals, including the Medical Journal of Australia, ANZ Journal of Surgery, Immunology and Cell Biology, Australian Dental Journal, and Australian Veterinary Journal.
This agreement marks Wiley’s fifteenth transitional open access agreement globally and seventh announced in 2021, illustrating a proactive commitment to open access publishing worldwide and building on previous agreements in the United States, Switzerland, Ireland, and Italy.
