Wiley - SANLiC agreement overview meeting
Dear Librarians and OA administrators,
This is a kind reminder of our dedicated webinar scheduled for this afternoon 13 February 2025 at 3:00 PM (South Africa time). The meeting will provide an update on the SANLiC/Wiley agreement so far, outline some changes for 2025, and recap the Wiley Open Access Dashboard following the migration back from Oable. There will be a repeat session on February 24th at 11:00 AM, local time. The sessions will be recorded for anyone who cannot attend.
Read & Publish agreements are a form of transformative agreement with a publisher that takes the library’s existing expenditure on subscriptions and repurposes it to cover both reading and publishing in that publisher’s journals. If you publish in a journal that’s included in one of the Read & Publish agreements, you may be able to publish direct to open access with no transactional article processing charges.
Author publishing workflow. You don’t need to change your publishing practices. Submit where you would normally submit your research and you’ll be notified on acceptance if you are eligible to publish your article open access with no transactional APCs (Article Processing Charges).
