John Wiley & Sons, Inc., a global leader in research and education, and FinELib, a Finnish consortium of higher education and research institutions, have announced a new three-year license that combines an open access and subscription agreement, effective February 2020. This 3-year agreement will provide 22 Finnish institutions with continued access to Wiley’s subscription journals and enables their affiliated authors to publish open access articles in Wiley’s fully gold and hybrid journals.
As part of the agreement, eligible researchers and students will be automatically identified and notified of the opportunity to publish open access through their institutional connection, at no additional charge. FinELib institutions will continue to have access to all of Wiley’s journal content. The 22 eligible institutions will also have access to a distinct open access account dashboard for easy administration of their account, quick article approval, and reporting.
FinELib is a consortium of Finnish higher education institutions, research institutions and public libraries. Its mission is to secure and improve the availability of electronic resources. FinELib promotes openness by negotiating transformative agreements in order to make a transition to open access, without additional costs for the scholarly community.
