The Author Services Team

Online submission

A growing number of Wiley journals offer authors the chance to submit online to reduce time to publication. Online submission systems (such as Manuscript Central) can provide authors with, on average, 25% faster referee times. Over 80% of surveyed authors using an online submission system find it easier than hard copy submission**.

Tracking articles in production

Wiley's Author Services production tracking enables both corresponding authors and co-authors to follow their article through the production process online, choose to receive e-mails at key stages, and get free online access to their article when it publishes online. NEW! All authors can now also nominate up to ten colleagues to be notified upon publication and receive free online access to the article.

Early online publication

Wiley publishes fully peer-reviewed, corrected articles ahead of issue publication, enabling readers to access information faster. This service is known as OnlineEarly and is offered by over 440 Wiley journals. Some journals also offer OnlineAccepted, where articles are published online immediately after acceptance, before copy-editing. Both OnlineAccepted and OnlineEarly articles are citable.

OnlineOpen a new open access publishing option

More than 190 Blackwell journals are now trialling OnlineOpen: a new open access option through which authors can choose to make their articles available free for all readers through the payment of an author fee. For full details visit http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/aboutus/open_access_options.html

Publication rights and offprints

Blackwell journal authors can use their accepted article in a number of ways, including in publications of their own work and course packs in their institution. An electronic copy of the article (with a link to the online version) can be posted on their own website, employer's website/repository and on free public servers in the subject area. For full details see www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/faqs_copyright.asp.

Many Wiley journal authors receive the final PDF of their article upon publication which they can circulate to colleagues, printed offprints can be ordered at a small cost. Authors who register in Author Services may access their articles toll-free when they are published online, and also nominate up to 10 colleagues to be notified upon publication and receive free online access to the article.

Worldwide library access for your research

Journal articles are available online on Wiley InterScience. Wiley's successful subscription and consortia sales program means these articles are accessible in subscribing libraries across the world. Many articles are also available free in developing countries and at reduced rates in the Newly Independent States through Wiley's participation in the WHO's HINARI initiative, the FAO's AGORA project, and the Programme for the Enhancement of Research Information run by INASP.

Increasing citations

Research** has revealed a correlation between online usage and subsequent citations for journal articles. Wiley's efforts to increase online readership also have a subsequent impact on citations. We ensure that Wiley journal articles will be read by the relevant specialists by employing the most important routes to research.
