According to the announcement issued by TÜBİTAK, the current status of the open-access article quotas allocated for use in Gold and Hybrid journals in 2026 under the Wiley–TÜBİTAK Read & Publish Agreement is as follows:
Gold journals: The article quota allocated for 2026 has been fully used as of August 12, 2026. Therefore:
-
TÜBİTAK will not be able to provide APC (Article Processing Charge) support under the agreement for articles accepted in Gold journals until the end of the year.
-
Even if articles have previously received conditional acceptance or an open access request has already been initiated for Gold journals, the APCs for such articles cannot be covered under the TÜBİTAK-Wiley Agreement due to the exhaustion of the 2026 Gold article quota.
-
The quotas allocated for Gold and Hybrid journals are tracked separately. Therefore, the availability of a quota for Hybrid journals does not imply that open access support continues for Gold journals.
Hybrid journals: There are 189 quotas available for 2026. Open access support will continue to be provided for articles that meet the agreement’s conditions until the quota is exhausted.
