What is OA? What is Hybrid?

Open Access (OA) is a way to publish that makes content freely available with no subscription or access fees. Open access often also includes licensing the work to allow for reuse. In order to make articles open, publishers are compensated for their editorial services through an Article Publication Charge (APC), which varies by journal title.

OhioLINK's agreement with Wiley gives member authors and institutions the open access option without paying any additional fees.
