We would like to remind you that the new national contract between the Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries and the publisher Wiley will enter into force on 1 January 2025 and will be valid until 31 December 2027.

• Portfolio access: Continuous reading rights to the entire Wiley catalogue: ca.1 350 hybrid journals.
• No-fee Open Access publishing: Basel researchers can publish OA in all Wiley journals (hybrid + ca. 600 Gold-Open Access titles); annual article quotas cover expected demand.
• Central funding: Article-processing charges are now settled centrally by participating libraries, eliminating ad-hoc payments by authors.
• AI & text-mining rights: The contract permits extensive text- and data-mining with AI tools, provided licensed content is not reused to train commercial models.

Thanks to a flat-rate payment model that now bundles previously decentralised Gold-OA fees, the agreement lowers total expenditure by -10 % in 2025 (national level). Further Information
