NOTE: the agreement lasts until December 31, 2023. The new one is still under negotiation.
The University of Bologna has joined the national CARE-CRUI agreement with Wiley. The transformative agreement covers both the subscription fees for accessing the journals of the Database collection subscribed by the University of Bologna and the fees for publishing in Open Access in the hybrid journals included in the same collection, as well as on the hybrid journals that will become full Open Access during the term of the contract.
Publishing incentives
For articles published from 2021, the agreement covers the publishing costs up to the annual national buffer available to all institutions that have signed the agreement. Once the national buffer is exhausted, the cost of articles published in eligible journals (hybrid journals included in the subscribed collection and hybrid journals that will become full Open Access during the term of the contract) is borne by the individual authors, with a 20% price reduction on the list price.
How can authors benefit from the publishing incentives?
When contacting the publisher, authors affiliated with the University of Bologna should mention the national CARE-CRUI agreement signed by the University.
How long does the agreement last?
The agreement lasts from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023.
