Researchers in Switzerland are expected to increasingly prioritize open access publication. However, between changing publisher agreements, increasing APC charges, and publishing quotas at journals running out, navigating the open access landscape can be a real challenge.

The national article cap for cost-free Open Access (OA) publishing in Wiley’s full OA journals is expected to be reached on September 10, 2026 (exact date subject to change). If your article is accepted for publication in a Wiley full OA journal after this quota is reached, the OA fees will not be covered by the Read & Publish agreement, and you will be invoiced directly. Learn how to secure alternative funding and strategically time your submissions below.
