Wiley

On behalf of Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH), the TIB participates in the nationwide DEAL agreement with the Wiley science publishing house. This offers scientists at LUH new opportunities to publish their research results in Open Access.

Term of Contract: 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2028

What does this mean for you as a researcher at LUH?

You can publish your articles in most Wiley journals Open Access without incurring any personal costs. The contract covers both the publisher's hybrid journals and genuine Open Access journals.

A list of journals can be found here (XLSX).

Which requirements must be fulfilled?

  • You are a scientist of the Leibniz Universität Hannover and submit the paper as Corresponding Author.
  • You must clearly state your institutional affiliation when submitting your paper.
  • Your article is primary research or a review article.

This is the procedure:

1. Hybrid journals („Hybrid Open Access (HOA)")

As soon as the article has been accepted for publication, confirm the necessary details.

  1. Check the affiliation you provided when submitting the article. Please make sure that Leibniz Universität Hannover has been selected.
  2. When prompted, select „Yes, make my article open access.“
    • This will not incur any costs for you. The costs for publication are paid centrally by the TIB.

    The TIB will now be informed about your article and asked to confirm the payment.
    • Once the payment has been approved, you will receive confirmation by email. This may take no more than five days.
    • If the payment has been rejected, you will be informed by email. You can then either apply for funds elsewhere or publish the article in Closed Access without further costs.

If you are asked to grant a Creative Commons licence for your publication, please select CC BY.

2. Open Access journals

In the case of Open Access journals, you provide all the necessary information during the submission process.

  1. During submission, you will be asked to select a payment option.
    • Please select option 1: "The Corresponding Author's institution or funder has an existing agreement with Wiley and may pay the Article Publication Charge from this account on behalf of the author..." and follow the instructions.
  2. The TIB will now be informed of your submission and asked to confirm the payment.
    • Once the payment has been approved, you will receive confirmation by email. This may take no more than five days.
    • If the payment has been rejected, you will have to apply for funds elsewhere. You will also receive a notification by email.

If you are asked to grant a Creative Commons licence for your publication, please choose CC BY if possible.
