Emory Libraries: Wiley Journal Subscription Review

Background, Data, Decisions, Feedback and FAQs for Unbundling

Alternative Access to Wiley journal content

Several alternatives to access Wiley journal articles will remain available, including from the Libraries, from open access sources, and directly from the author. We are also committed to providing timely access to needed articles from discontinued Wiley journals for Emory faculty, students, and staff at no cost to you.

From the Libraries:

  • To submit an ILL request, simply log into ILLiad and complete the form.  Most articles can be delivered via ILLiad in less than 24 hours.  ILL services are free for faculty, students, and staff.
  • Use a library supported browser app  such as LibKey to reload the article webpage with your Emory affiliation and password or to see if the article is available from Emory Libraries.
  • Use Articles+ in Library Search for direct searching (by title or DOI) of Wiley journal articles that may be available full-text from other databases or open access. Oftentimes, content is available (with a year embargo). Over 2/3 of discontinued journals are available through our EBSCO databases with only the most current year/volume(s) not available.
  • Check eJournals @ Emory to see if the journal article is available from a full-text database at Emory. 
  • Use a library supported browser app  such as Browzine to reload the article webpage with your Emory affiliation and password or to see if the article is available from Emory Libraries. Note that Emory uses an in-house password management system so you must use eJournals@Emory or one of these apps to type in your personal Emory password for access to Emory's subscriptions. 
  • Use the FindIt@Emory option in Emory library licensed databases, PubMed programmed for Emory, or see the steps for Google Scholar to be set for Emory.
    • All Wiley journals will still have a FindIt@Emory option to link out to other access or ILL options.
  • To submit an ILL request, simply log into ILLiad and complete the form.  Most articles can be delivered via ILLiad in less than 24 hours.  ILL services are free for faculty, students, and staff.

 

Find an open access copy:

  • Some authors may have already made a version of their article freely available as open access, either in a repository, such as PubMed Central, arXiv or bioRxiv, on a personal webpage, or on an academic networking site, such as ResearchGate, Mendeley, and Academia.edu.
  • Several browser extensions or plug-ins can also facilitate your search for an open access version of an article.  These includes the Open Access Button (OA Button) for Chrome or Firefox where you can enter an article’s URL, DOI, title or other information, and Unpaywall, with a Chrome/Firefox browser extension that will direct you to open access versions of articles you come across online.
