Open access agreement for authors at eligible Norwegian institutions

Publish open access with Wiley

Corresponding authors affiliated with participating Sikt institutions may publish open access in any hybrid journal (subscription-based journals which offer an open access option). For authors affiliated with a smaller number of participating Sikt institutions (see gold account institutions listed seperately), primary research and review articles are also covered in any fully gold open access journal at the discretion of the institution.

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.
