Discount

20% discount on Article Processing Charges (APCs) after a journal's annual open access publishing cap has been reached. Note that only Wiley's fully open access journals are capped under the new Wiley Read and Publish agreement.

Status

Active since 1 January 2025 (for articles accepted during the term of the agreement).

Current agreement term

1 January 2026 - 31 December 2026.

Summary

This discount only comes into play when an annual open access publishing cap has been reached in the Wiley Read and Publish agreement.

University of Melbourne corresponding authors are eligible for a 10% APC discount (20% from 2026) when publishing in Wiley journals that were eligible under the open access publishing agreement before the cap was reached.

The University of Melbourne author must be the article's responsible corresponding author for the article to be eligible. Eligibility is determined at the time of article acceptance and the responsible corresponding author's completion of subsequent actions in the Author Services platform.

For eligible titles, see the CAUL titles list, reflected in our spreadsheet of all journals with APC discounts.

How to use the discount

When possible, corresponding authors should use their unimelb email address (@unimelb.edu.au or @student.unimelb.edu.au). This email address should be used in the publisher's submission platform and all correspondence. This allows for easy verification of affiliation.

Related agreement

The University has a Read and Publish agreement with Wiley, which will cover the APCs of eligible articles in most Wiley journals until caps are reached.
