Transformative Agreements

Introduction

We have transformative agreements with three major publishers—Wiley, Cambridge University Press and Karger Publishers—to provide financial support for Western Michigan University researchers who publish in open access journals.

Publishers charge an article processing fee (APC) to make research available through open access. These fees may discourage researchers from publishing open access. Our agreements with Wiley, Cambridge and Karger will cover the cost of the APCs for WMU researchers publishing in eligible open access journals from these publishers.

Our agreements

Our transformative agreements make publishing open access easier than ever before.

You don’t need to pay article processing fees—select WMU as your institution and we’ll take care of the publishing charges.
Your work will comply with funder mandates.
You retain the copyright for your work and publish it under a Creative Commons license.
Your work will be available for everyone to read, cite and share.

Choose from over 230 gold open access Wiley journals, 370 open access Cambridge University Press journals, or 100 open access and hybrid Karger Publishers journals.
