Open access agreement for authors at eligible CRKN institutions

Your institution wants you to publish open access

Wiley and CRKN have an agreement which allows eligible authors to publish open access without paying an article publication charge (APC). The cost of publishing is covered under the terms of the agreement.

Corresponding authors affiliated with participating CRKN institutions may publish gold open access in any hybrid journal, at no charge. By choosing gold open access an article is immediately and freely available for all to read, download and share.

Corresponding authors should use an institutional email address for a CRKN member institution when submitting their article. You may need to update your Wiley profile to do so. Authors should not use a personal email addresses (e.g. Hotmail, Gmail). Doing so may result in delayed approval or rejection of the open access APC coverage request under the terms of the agreement.

Your institution wants you to make your article gold open access.

Publishing open access:

• Complies with institution or funder mandates
• Allows you to retain copyright through a CC BY license
• Enables automatic deposit in PMC (when appropriate)
