Monitoring the transition to open access: Jisc-Wiley transitional agreement
No full textThe Jisc-Wiley Read and Publish agreement enables researchers from participating UK institutions to publish their articles immediately as open access (OA) in over 1,400 hybrid open access journals and 230+ fully open access journals as well as access content published in 1,480+ subscription journals. It aims to reduce cost and administration barriers by allowing all UK articles published in Wiley open access and subscription journals to be made open access immediately upon publication. This assists institutions with compliance for existing funder requirements and reduces the burden of having to re-allocate funds from research grants to pay for article publication charges (APC). The Jisc-Wiley Read and Publish agreement has three core aims:
1. To contain the costs of publication and subscription access for institutions
2. To reduce cost and administration barriers to hybrid open access publishing and support
compliance with UK funder policies
3. To increase the number of open access articles
We have analyzed the first year’s data of the Jisc-Wiley four-year Read and Publish agreement against these aims including whether it has had a positive impact on increasing the ratio of UK open access research output in 2020. This includes exploring consortium level, institutional level and article level data to determine the agreement’s performance
