Open access agreement for authors at eligible Danish institutions

Your institution wants you to publish open access

Wiley and Royal Danish Library (RDL) 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 RDL institutions may publish gold open access in any hybrid journal, at no charge. By choosing gold open access an article is immediately and freely available for all to read, download and share.

Responsible corresponding authors should not use personal email addresses (e.g. Hotmail, Gmail). Doing so may result in delayed approval of the open access APC coverage request for the article to be published open access under the terms of the agreement.

Update November 2024

Thank you for your interest in the RDL publishing agreement with Wiley. Unfortunately, we have exhausted the number of articles eligible to publish under this agreement for the remainder of 2024. For the remainder of 2024, Wiley will offer RDL authors a 15% discount on publishing their articles as open access. New funds will be available in January 2025.

Publishing open access:

• Complies with institution or funder mandates
• Allows you to retain copyright through a CC BY license
• Enables automatic deposit in PMC (when appropriate)
