Open access agreement for authors at eligible KERIS institutions in the Republic of Korea

Publish open access with Wiley

From 1 March 2024, authors affiliated with institutions that are participating in Wiley’s Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS) agreement may publish open access in any hybrid journal (subscription-based journals which offer an open access option) with no transactional Article Publication Charges (APC).

You can be confident that by choosing open access your work has 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 here.

Update October 2024: Open access APC coverage is not currently available for authors interested in publishing open access through Wiley’s agreement with KERIS.
