Scientists at the University of Zurich can now publish Open Access articles free of charge in journals published by Wiley from May 1, 2021. This offer is made possible by the conclusion of a Read&Publish agreement jointly financed by the University Library and the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. This agreement secures continued reading rights to the previously accessible journals and also enables the option of Open Access publication.

In order to use this offer the corresponding author of the submitted article must be employed at the University of Zurich or the affiliated hospitals and the article must be accepted by the publisher after May 1, 2021. A list of all eligible Wiley journals and a description of the submission process can be found on the UB website on Open Access Publication Funding under the respective publisher name.

Please note that the opportunity for free OA publication is limited due to an annual quota.

In addition to Wiley, Read&Publish agreements exist with other publishers. Information on the individual agreements and the conditions can be found on the UB website on Open Access Publication Funding. It is also possible to receive funding for publishing with other selected open access publishers. Find out more on the website or contact us at oa@ub.uzh.ch

Read&Publish agreements are an important step towards the aim of making all publicly funded publications available in Open Access by 2024 in Switzerland. Details can be found in the media release of swissuniversities.
