Wiley and Tulane University Libraries Sign Agreement to Publish More Open Access Research

12/08/2022

HOBOKEN, N.J. – December 8, 2022 – Wiley, one of the world’s largest publishers and a global leader in research and education, today announced a new three-year open access agreement with Tulane University Libraries.  

 


 

This agreement will provide Tulane University Libraries affiliates with access to Wiley’s complete journal portfolio and enable participating researchers to publish research in Wiley’s complete portfolio of nearly 2,000 hybrid and gold open access journals, including those published by Hindawi, starting January 1, 2023. 


“Wiley is delighted to join with Tulane University Libraries to help their researchers make more of their work open access,” said Kathryn Sharples, Vice President, Open Research, Wiley. “Wiley is accelerating the transition to open access across the United States with many agreements over the past year including the Big Ten Academic Alliance, Carolina Consortium, Virginia Library Consortium, and we’re excited to now add Tulane Universities Libraries to that growing list.” 


This is the fourth agreement with a major scholarly journal publisher that Tulane University Libraries has negotiated to waive the article publication charges for Tulane authors who want their articles to be published as open access or publicly available. Wiley, however, is by far the largest publisher among them, publishing over 8 million articles across subject areas. 


“Transformational open access agreements can produce a greater return on investment to the institution overall for the dollars its libraries spend on journal subscriptions,” said Andy Corrigan, interim Dean of Libraries at Tulane. “Moreover, we consider this a big win since because of our geographic location we’ve needed to secure these agreements independently from the US research library consortia involved in these agreements thus far.” 


Wiley is committed to paving the way toward an open future globally, having achieved open access partnerships with over 2,200 institutions spanning 23 countries. Wiley established its first US open access arrangement in a pilot with Iowa State University in 2021 and has more recently completed open access agreements with several institutions and large consortia across the country.
