Open Access Publishing with Wiley Journals

Publishing in an Open Access journal with Wiley does not affect the basics of the publication process. An authors must still submit their paper to a journal and it must still be accepted and pass editing and peer review. The difference comes when the article is submitted for publication. And there are two variations with Wiley journals. One is for journals that use the pure Gold OA model (i.e. all articles within the journal use the OA access model. The other is for Wiley journals that use the Hybrid model. In these journals, some articles are Open Access and some are closed access, at the author's choice.

Publication Process:

1. Author submits a proposed article to the journal, using the Wiley Author Center.
2. When asked who will pay the APC for the article, the author should select the first option, "My institution or funder has an agreement with Wiley and may pay"
   
3. The author then will select Khalifa University as the institution (using the lookup tool to get the institutional code).
4. The APC administrators will be notified of a new paper, and approve the charge, if the journal is rated in the top 15% according to Scopus. Wiley will notify you that this step is completed.
5. The paper then goes through the normal process of editing and peer-review prior to acceptance.
6. If the paper is accepted, the author will be asked to acknowledge the license agreement.
7. The paper is published.
