Copyright & Licensing


If I signed a Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA), what are my sharing rights? 

All the ways in which authors can share articles can be found at this link.  Under the Wiley CTA authors may not post the final version of record on Scholarly Collaboration Networks (SCNs) such as ResearchGate. Authors may however post a link on ResearchGate to the version record on Wiley Online Library (note: the version of record is updated to reflect any post publication changes). Wiley’s policy on article sharing can be found at this link.


If I published open access under a Creative Commons license, what are my rights?

Articles published open access under a Creative Commons license may be posted on any platform including ResearchGate, as long as the Creative Commons license is observed and remains in place.  Find out more here.


How do I sign my article license using Author Services?

When logged in to your Author Services Dashboard, any of your articles that need attention will appear under the heading ACTION REQUIRED. Click “SIGN LICENSE”. Once you click on this link, you will be taken through a step-by-step process. View our Sign an Article License Guide.


Can I change my Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) to a CC-BY open access license after I have signed it?

Authors can sign a Creative Commons license after having signed the original CTA if they subsequently decide to publish the article under open access terms.  Authors can do this at any time during the production process before the article is published online. Payment of the relevant Article Publication Charge (APC) would be required.


What are Scholarly Collaboration Networks (SCNs)? 

SCNs have become widely used within the research community, with researchers using SCNs to interact, collaborate and share their results online across institutional and geographical boundaries. The proliferation of SCNs has however led to some complications that need to be addressed. Sharing of journal content can involve the copying and distribution of copyrighted material. Wiley believes that sharing on SCNs should be simple and seamless for researchers while upholding the principles of copyright. Wiley supports the values and guidelines laid out by the Voluntary Principles for Article Sharing on Scholarly Collaboration Networks as a framework to safeguard the positive impact sharing has for researchers, institutions and society as a whole. The Voluntary Principles were outlined by the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM) of which Wiley is a member.


Which license should I sign to publish my article?

After your article has been accepted, Wiley authors must sign a license agreement before publication. Read your chosen journal’s author guidelines for details on the journal’s specific copyright agreement. 


If you are looking to make your article open access, you will need to sign an Open Access Agreement.

Production & Publication


What is "Early View"? 

Wiley publishes fully peer-reviewed, corrected articles ahead of issue publication, enabling readers to access information faster. This service is known as “Early View” and is offered by many Wiley journals.


The Early View service presents full-text, peer-reviewed, copyedited articles as soon as they are complete, before the release of the compiled print issue. Articles are posted following receipt of the authors' corrected proofs. They include all figures and tables and are fully citable. Since Early View articles are fully integrated within the Wiley Online Library platform, they may be retrieved using the search and browse functions, delivered to your desktop via e-mail alerts, and viewed at the journal's home page. Each Early View article carries an online publication date and a DOI for citations.


Some journals also offer what is referred to as “Accepted Article View,” where articles are published online immediately after acceptance, before copy-editing. Accepted Article and Early View articles are both citable by the DOI as soon as they publish. In addition, you can share a ‘read only’ version of your published article with your colleagues (authenticated Wiley subscribers will get full access).


How do I return my proof corrections? 

A link to article proofs is provided via email.  You will be notified when your article proofs are ready for correction. Full information and contact return details will be supplied at this time. If you have received but are unable to open the proofs of your paper, contact the production editor at the journal email address provided. Accurately proofread your article and clearly mark any corrections online as soon as possible.
