SANLiC (South African National Library & Information Consortium) has negotiated an agreement with Wiley to support Open Access publishing.

As a member of SANLiC, Wits has signed an agreement with Wiley for the period 2022-2025.

The Read & Publish agreement allows full reading access to Wiley's 1400 Closed and Hybrid journals.
