Update October 2023: There are no remaining funds available to publish in Wiley’s fully open access journals as part of the IReL-Wiley agreement for the remainder of this year. Articles submitted to fully open access journals for the rest of 2023 will not be offered IReL-funded open access. Articles that have already been approved for open access funding will not be affected. Publishing in Wiley’s hybrid open access journals (the majority of Wiley journals) will remain available until the end of the year.
