Please see below and be aware of recent developments concerning our agreement with SIKT (Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research) in Norway and how they may affect your access to publishing services.
During extensive negotiations, SIKT requested a significant reduction in the price of their transformational agreement (TA), which already offered exceptional benefits. Our priority is to maintain the long-term sustainability of our services, and to safeguard this, we have had to make the difficult decision not to meet demands that would affect our ability to support authors like you in the future.
We remain optimistic that individual Norwegian research institutions may choose to sign independent agreements and continue supporting their authors’ access to publishing services.
While SIKT’s current transformational agreement has concluded, we have extended an additional two weeks’ access to subscription content on Wiley Online Library for the 51 member institutions. For those affected, we encourage you to reach out to your institution if you have questions or concerns about continued access.
We deeply value the contributions of Norwegian researchers and are committed to finding ways to ensure your work continues to reach a global audience.
