Open access agreement for authors at eligible Finnish institutions
Your institution wants you to publish open access
Wiley and FinELib 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 FibELib institutions may publish gold open access in any fully open access or hybrid journal, at no charge*. By choosing gold open access an article is immediately and freely available for all to read, download and share.
When selecting open access, please note FinELib institutions insist on a CC BY license where available and your institution may not approve the request if you have not selected this license. If the journal does not offer CC BY as standard, please contact your university or library open access team with questions on the best way to proceed.
*subject to availability of sufficient funds or article allocations (at editorial acceptance) and approval from eligible institutions' Wiley Open Access Account holders.
If a funding request has been approved but funds/article allocations are no longer available when an article has been editorially accepted and an OA license has been signed, the author will receive an email telling them that their funding request has been denied due to funding exhaustion unless other funding arrangements for their institution are in place.
Your institution wants you to make your article gold open access.
Publishing open access:
