The four year IReL-Wiley agreement (Jan 2025 to Dec 2028) allows eligible corresponding authors, in participating institutions (including UCC), to publish original research and review articles open access upon publication at no extra cost. The agreement also allows member institutions continued access to the complete collection over one thousand journals published by Wiley.
OA quota per year: The OA publishing fund with this agreement is limited, but 'projected' to cover all articles from members’ eligible authors. See here for more information.
Agreement period: 1 Jan 2025 – 31 Dec 2028
For your article submission to be included under the agreement, you must be the corresponding author and affiliated to 'University College Cork'. In the article submission process you must correctly identify your institution as 'University College Cork'. You must use your UCC email address, and not addresses from other domains.
For Wiley hybrid and gold journals: At the time the article is accepted for publication, the corresponding author must be a current member of UCC staff, or a registered UCC student.
