How much does Wiley charge for open access?
Wiley does not publish a single APC range. Instead there are two separate PDF price lists — one for fully open access journals, one for hybrid. As a rough benchmark, the Journal of Adolescence lists at $3,310, and the portfolio-wide average paid across Wiley (heavily reduced by transformative agreements) hovers around $1,600. Individual prices vary widely and are journal-specific.
En détail
Two separate lists
Wiley maintains an Open Access Journal Price List and a Hybrid OA Price List as PDFs. Both are downloadable from authorservices.wiley.com. Neither is embedded on a webpage — you must open the PDF to see prices.
Representative figures
The Journal of Adolescence (a mid-tier social sciences title) is currently listed at $3,310. The portfolio-wide average paid — heavily discounted through transformative agreements — is around $1,600. These are not the same thing: list prices are higher than what most authors actually pay after institutional coverage.
Discounts stack
Wiley applies society-member discounts, referred-paper discounts, and Wiley Open Access Account credits. If your institution has an account, you may pay nothing. If you're a society member, expect 15–20% off.
Latin America pilot
Since 2025-01-21, corresponding authors from 33 Latin American countries receive discounts based on Purchasing Power Index — a separate mechanism from the country waiver.
Tax layer
EU authors add VAT. Institutions paying on behalf of the author can usually reclaim VAT, or avoid it by providing a VAT registration number (except UK). GST/HST applies for Canadian customers by province.
