Open access agreement for authors at eligible DAE Consortium institutions in India

Publish open access with Wiley

From 1 April 2024, authors affiliated with institutions that are part of Wiley’s Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) Consortium agreement may publish in Wiley’s journals that offer open access, with no transactional Article Publication Charges (APC).

Update November 2024: Open access APC coverage is not currently available for authors interested in publishing open access through Wiley’s agreement with the DAE Consortium. The agreement has reached its maximum article quota for 2024. Please contact your institution’s OA administrators if you have any questions.

You can be confident that by choosing open access, your work will have the best chance to be read, cited and shared. Author(s) also retain the copyright through CC license. Read more about the advantages of publishing open access.
