Wiley (DEAL contract)

For 2024 and 2025

The JLU Giessen participates in the DEAL contract with Wiley (Contract period: 2024-2028). The contract enables Open Acess publishing in Wiley journals in two ways. 

Publishing in a gold open access journal

In a gold open access journal all articles are published freely available without an embargo, but an article processing charge (APC) has to be paid. The DEAL contract grants a 20% discount on the APCs, if the corresponding author has a JLU-affiliation. The open access team will receive a notification upon submission and will contact you for details about the payment.

For APCs up to 2.000 € the JLU OA publication fund covers 50% of the costs. APCs above 2.000 € can be supported by JLU funds with 1.000 € (incl. VAT). As junior scientist in their PhD process or with a PhD-graduation that is not older than five year the JLU OA publication fund covers 75% and a maximum of 1.500 €.

Publishing in a hybrid journal (OnlineOpen)

A hybrid journal publishes single articles in open access usually after paying an optional fee. The DEAL contract enables to publish manuscripts open access without paying such a fee, if the corresponding author has a JLU-affiliation. The costs are covered by the DEAL contract.
