Global research and education leader Wiley has announced a new three-year agreement with the Carolina Consortium, a consortium of libraries across the U.S. states of North Carolina and South Carolina.
The agreement allows members of 41 participating institutions access to all of Wiley’s hybrid and subscription journals and grants researchers 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 a wider dissemination of information among both academics and the public alike.
Wiley has open access agreements with a variety of institutions, consortia and government entities globally and throughout the US, including with the US Department of Energy, VIVA consortium in Virginia, Carnegie Mellon University, and Iowa State University.
