Publish your work open access in five easy steps
Step 1
Finding a Journal
- Use our checklist to find the right journal.
- Be sure to use our Author Compliance Tool to check that your chosen journal is fully compliant with your funder or institution’s policies.
Step 2
Submission
- Distinguish yourself. Register for an ORCID iD and associate it to your manuscript when you submit.
- During submission, be sure to provide information on any funding you’ve received.
Tip: Many funders and institutions require that you also include this detail in your article. It’s a good idea to add this to your manuscript so you’re fully compliant.
Step 3
Licensing & Open Access
- Retain copyright of your work with an open access agreement. All of Wiley’s fully open access journals and most of Wiley’s subscription journals with the OnlineOpen option publish open access articles under a Creative Commons License.
- See which Creative Commons license is right for you and your funder or institution.
Step 4
Publication and Archiving
- Check that the open access icon and the Creative Commons license type are displayed on your article.
- Wiley will automatically submit articles to PMC where appropriate.
Step 5
Promoting your article
- Grow usage of your article with Kudos.
- Use the Author Promotional Toolkit. Follow this road-map to increase the impact of your article.
- Post about your work on social media.
