From 1 January 2022, authors affiliated with institutions in Australia and New Zealand that are participating in Wiley’s Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) agreement may publish in Wiley’s journals that offer open access, with no transactional Article Publication Charges (APC).
You can be confident that by choosing open access, your work will have the best chance to be read, cited and shared. Read more about the advantages of publishing open access.
Update September 2025: Funding is no longer available for authors wishing to publish open access in Wiley hybrid journals via the Wiley-CAUL agreement. The agreement has reached its maximum article allowance for open access publication in hybrid journals in 2025. Authors who wish to publish open access in hybrid journals and pay for their articles’ APC are eligible for a 10% discount. Funding for publication in fully gold open access journals currently remains available. Please contact your institution’s library if you have any questions.
Follow this step by step guide to making your article open access in a hybrid journal – at no cost to yourself. Go to the Wiley Author Services Dashboard now, to select open access for your article. | |
Follow this step by step guide, or declare your affiliated institutions when requested during the submission process in a fully open access journal, to submit your article’s open access APC to your affiliated institutions. |
Please refer to this guide on CAUL’s website for more information or contact your university or library if you have any questions.
1Eligibility is subject to when the institution has formalized their participation in the agreement. If you are no longer affiliated with an eligible institution at the point of acceptance of your paper in a hybrid journal or submission to fully open access titles, you do not qualify.
2Other article types e.g. letters, editorials etc. are excluded. Please refer to this full list of article classifications and their eligibility for open access APC coverage under the agreement.
3Fully open access journals are included in this agreement from 2023 onwards.
4For submissions by CAUL affiliated authors to hybrid journals that transitioned to fully open access within 2022, the articles’ APCs will either be waived or routed to CAUL participating institutions for review, under CAUL’s agreement in 2023, subject to the articles’ acceptance date.
