This is included in the agreement
The open access publishing fee (APC, article processing charge) has been pre-paid through an agreement between the Library and the publisher. The agreement applies when the corresponding author (i.e., the person communicating with the publisher and journal) is affiliated with Umeå University.
The agreement does not cover additional charges, such as page fees or colour illustration fees.
The agreement applies to articles in open access journals with a submission date in 2025–2026 and in hybrid journals with an acceptance date in 2025–2026.
Journals and article types
The agreement applies to open access publishing in all hybrid and open access journals from Wiley.
Article types covered by the agreement include "research articles" and "review articles".
Choice of licence
Articles covered by the agreement are published with a CC BY licence by default, but you can also choose between various other Creative Commons licences.
What you need to do
To use the agreement, you must:
- be the corresponding author;
- state a correct affiliation to Umeå University in the manuscript; and
- state Umeå University as your affiliation in the publisher submission system.
If the article has several corresponding authors, the person submitting the manuscript must be the responsible corresponding author.
For the publisher to identify you as affiliated to Umeå University, you should use your university email address ending in @umu.se.
