Open access agreement for authors at eligible Czech institutions

Publish open access with Wiley

Corresponding authors affiliated with participating CzechELib institutions may publish open access in any of Wiley's hybrid journals (subscription-based journals which offer an open access option) at no charge to the author.

When selecting open access, please note CzechELib institutions strongly recommend choosing a CC BY license (rather than CC BY-NC or CC BY-NC-ND) where available, in order to meet your grant agency's conditions.

You can be confident that by choosing open access your work has the best chance to be read, cited and shared. Read more about the advantages of publishing open access here.

Please contact your university or library with questions.



1If you are no longer affiliated with an eligible institution at the point of acceptance of your paper, you do not qualify.

2Other article types e.g. letters, editorials etc. are excluded.

3If you don't order open access initially, your manuscript will be published under the traditional closed access model. You may order open access retroactively, but once your paper is published in Early View or In Issue online you are no longer eligible to publish open access at no charge.
