Global research and education leader Wiley has announced a three-year open access agreement with the National Research Council of Science and Technology (NST), in the Republic of Korea.
The agreement, which marks Wiley’s first in East Asia, will enable researchers at 25 institutions across the Republic of Korea to publish accepted articles open access in Wiley's hybrid journals. By partnering with the NST, more research published by Korean scientists will be freely available for researchers and the public alike.
It is expected that this transformational agreement between NST and Wiley will raise the international profile of Korean governmental research institutes. This agreement allows anyone from around the world to access the research outputs of NST member institutions, without any barriers or restrictions, thereby contributing to the growing global open access movement and promote more organic exchanges of knowledge between Korean and international researchers through a continuous collaboration with Wiley.
This agreement follows on the heels of Wiley’s record-setting year of open access agreements, with 12 new agreements signed in 2021. These agreements alone impact more than 300 institutions globally and will add an anticipated 15,000 new articles to the scholarly record.
