*Wiley Moves Towards Broader Open Access Licence*

*Hoboken, N.J. – August 14, 2012*. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., today announced
revised licensing arrangements for proprietary journals published
under the Wiley
Open Access<http://dmmsclick.wiley.com/click.asp?p=19539989&m=61245&u=1616095>program.
The journals will adopt the Creative Commons Attribution (
CC-BY <http://dmmsclick.wiley.com/click.asp?p=19539989&m=61245&u=1616096>)
licence which allows commercial use of published articles.

The Wiley Open Access portfolio also includes journals published with
society partners, many of which will similarly transfer to the Creative
Commons Attribution licence.

Wiley is responding to recent developments in funder and government
policies and supports the sustainable evolution of scientific publishing.
The change will be implemented immediately.

Rachel Burley, Vice President and Director, Open Access, commented, “Wiley
is committed to meeting the evolving needs of the authors who wish to
provide open access to the published articles that convey the results of
their research.”

Burley continued, “Our announcement today concerns Wiley’s fully open
access journals. We are also reviewing the licensing arrangements for our
hybrid program OnlineOpen, our open access option for individual articles
published in subscription journals. In consultation with our publishing
partners, we aim to continue to develop and deliver sustainable open access
products providing author choice and high levels of service.”

In the first instance, the journals moving to the CC-BY licence are *Brain
and Behavior<http://dmmsclick.wiley.com/click.asp?p=19539989&m=61245&u=1619561>,
