Wiley announced a pilot pricing program to provide discounts for research authors based in Latin America, reinforcing its commitment to deliver equitable publishing options for scholars across the globe.
The pilot program, which began on 21 January 21 2025, supports authors across 33 countries in Latin America, including in Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean, to publish research in Wiley’s portfolio of nearly 600 gold open access journals. Discounts on Article Publication Charges (APCs) are applied in direct relationship to the Purchasing Power Index (PPI) value of each participating country, informed by data from the World Bank International Comparison Program. The anticipated timeline for the pilot is 12 months, with a mid-term review to inform future actions.
Outside of the pilot, Wiley continues to offer waivers and discounts to authors from Research4Life countries around the globe. Additionally, the publisher has a number of open access agreements in place with institutions across Latin America.
