June 20, 2022 - Hoboken, NJ - Global research and education leader Wiley today announced a new four-year agreement with Bibliosan, a consortium of medical research institutes and hospitals in Italy.
This agreement will provide 68 institutions with access to Wiley's complete journal portfolio and enable participating researchers to publish accepted articles open access in all of Wiley's more than 1,600 hybrid and gold open access journals.
"Wiley is extremely pleased to announce this landmark agreement, which is the first of its kind for healthcare institutions. Bibliosan institutions contribute greatly to the advancement of science and this agreement will help them embody the best of research and clinical practice," said Liz Ferguson, Senior Vice President, Wiley Research Publishing.
Moreno Curti, M.D., Bibliosan Coordinator, said: "It is the first year that Bibliosan has signed Transformative Agreements, that is, both Read and Publish, with Wiley.
