Aix Marseille University has signed a national agreement with the publisher Wiley for the period 2022-2024. This "transforming" agreement includes :
- a consultation section, giving access to all the articles published in the publisher's 1,430 journals: this corresponds to the subscription taken out by the SCD to date
- a publication component, which enables the publication of articles with authors from AMU correspondence in open access in these same journals: this replaces the publication fees (Article processing charges, APC) paid individually by the laboratories for the open access distribution of articles by their researchers and lecturers.
This part of the agreement is designed to enable wider dissemination of the results of research produced by AMU, while limiting the publication costs charged to the research structures.
The eligibility criteria for benefiting from the conditions negotiated in the agreement are as follows:
- primary research article or review
- Author of correspondence affiliated to AMU
- subscription journals (known as "hybrids"): the agreement does not cover articles published in the publisher's 250 full OA journals
The process for validation of articles by journal peers remains identical; once articles have been accepted for publication, the author must indicate "Select Open Access at no additional charge" in the Wiley author services interface, and specify his/her affiliation with an AMU research structure.
