HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE:JWA) (NYSE:JWB), a global leader in
research and education, announced today an open access and subscription
agreement with the Hungarian Electronic Information Service National
Programme (EISZ). This three-year transformative agreement provides
researchers in 13 EISZ-affiliated institutions with access to read
journals published by Wiley, and the ability to publish open access with
Wiley.
Professor István Monok, General Director of the Library and Information
Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and President of the EISZ
Programme Board, said: “Universal, free access to research advances
science, innovation, and knowledge. We are proud to extend our
partnership with Wiley, to take large steps to ensure that all
publications resulting from public funding are available to anyone
around the world. I would like to thank everyone who has been involved
to drive a change which will not only increase the impact and visibility
of Hungarian research, but will change the current ecosystem of how
research is communicated, discovered, and accessed.”
To ensure that all eligible researchers and students benefit from the
new agreement with EISZ, Wiley will continue to invest in new
technologies, including its Author
Services platform
, where eligible
authors are automatically identified and notified of the opportunity to
publish open access, at no additional charge. EISZ institutions will
have access to an open access account dashboard for easy administration
of their account, quick request approval and in-depth reporting.
Judy Verses, Executive Vice President of Research, remarked: “At Wiley,
Researchers are our North Star and supporting their needs is what is
most important. As the community moves to a more open research
environment, strong partnerships, such as this with EISZ, will allow us
all to succeed and continue to build a positive future.”
