The Library has set up a Wiley Open Access Account which enables RCUK-funded authors at Queen’s to receive a 25% discount on open access publication fees for Wiley journals. This account is the latest of a number of prepayment and membership deals arranged by the Library, which reduce open access publication costs, including:
- BioMed Central Prepay Membership
- Elsevier RCUK Prepaid Open Access Plan
- PLOS (Public Library of Science) Institutional Membership
- Royal Society Open Access Membership
Some of these deals are restricted to RCUK-funded authors but others are not dependent on the funding source.
The complete list of prepayment and membership schemes is linked from the Library’s open access webpages: http://go.qub.ac.uk/oamemberships. Further information and advice about open access is available by emailing: openaccess@qub.ac.uk.
