2. Publish through the agreement
The agreement provides unlimited publishing in the publisher's hybrid journals. It covers articles with a corresponding author affiliated with one of the institutions participating in Sikt's consortium agreement. For hybrid journals, it is the date the article is accepted for publication that applies to when it is covered by the agreement.

CC licenses
The agreement allows publishing with two different types of sharing licenses from Creative Commons (CC): CC-BY and CC-BY-NC-ND. Plan S requires the use of a license both when publishing in open access journals and when depositing in a knowledge archive. Here, Plan S only accepts a CC license.
Corresponding authors
"Norwegian corresponding author" means that the person is employed at one of the participating institutions in the agreement.
The corresponding author is usually the author who contributes the majority of the intellectual effort and is responsible for following the article through to the finished product. This person is responsible for manuscript correction, proofreading, correspondence with the publisher, handling revisions, and submission of revised manuscripts until approval.
The corresponding author registers this role when he/she registers the article with Wiley. He/she will be approved when listing one of the participating institutions as the workplace.
Journals from academic societies
Wiley manages some titles from academic/learned societies. These societies own their own journals, and some such journals are included in (are offered with) reading access through the Wiley package. They can thus be read by all participating institutions. The learned societies' journals are largely open for Norwegian researchers to publish with open access.
Self-archiving
Articles that are published openly via the agreement with a CC license can be shared freely. The publisher's PDF can be uploaded to Cristin and institutional archives.
What about Norwegian researchers who are not affiliated with a participating institution?
In general, there is no change for researchers who are not affiliated with a participating institution:
Researchers outside the agreement do not have reading access to the Wiley journal package, but the library can subscribe to individual titles from the publisher. Often, the researcher must purchase individual articles or gain access to articles through a larger library that is affiliated with the agreement.
All Norwegian researchers have the opportunity to publish in all of Wiley's journals. If the researcher is not affiliated with a participating institution (or the journal is not among those covered by the agreement), a publication fee will be required.
Plan S compatibility
The current agreement is not compatible with Plan S in that Wiley has not converted its journals to full open access for all. However, Wiley has stated that they aim to fulfill the intentions of Plan S, and Sikt views the agreement as a transitional agreement towards this goal. The agreement will provide good data basis for evaluating and planning future arrangements of this type.

3. Reading access
The agreement provides reading access to the publisher's Full Collection. The access is to the 2023 journal list with an annual upgrade.
4. Wiley gold journals (Wiley Open)
This is an additional agreement to the current publish and read agreement with Wiley, which will provide a discount on the APC when publishing in gold journals. The additional agreement is an "opt-in" agreement, i.e., each institution participating in the main agreement can choose whether to join the additional agreement.
The additional agreement means that you get a 15% discount on the APC when publishing in the publisher's gold journals. This includes Hindawi journals. This presupposes central invoicing of the APC to the individual institution. Invoicing will be monthly in arrears, and sent directly from the publisher to the institution.
For the institutions that join this additional agreement, the articles in the gold journals will come into the same workflow as the hybrid articles and be approved in the same 'dashboard' system of Wiley. There will be two accounts in the dashboard; one for hybrid and one for gold approval.
Invoicing will be direct from the publisher.
