Institutions
For universities, research institutes, and library consortia
Full Portfolio
The institutional partnership that opens the full IWA Publishing portfolio to your library and Open Access publishing to your researchers.
From the community, for the community.
Institutional Partners join a global community of universities and research bodies supporting the future of water research.
One partnership two audiences served
A Full Portfolio partnership works two ways: your library gets full access to the journals, your researchers get a straightforward route to publish Open Access.
For your library
Full portfolio access to every IWA Publishing journal, plus the full archive. Access set-up by IP range, COUNTER usage reports and a named account manager.
For your researchers
Fee-free Open Access publishing in every inhouse IWA Publishing journal. Corresponding authors from your institution are recognised automatically at submission – no waiver to apply for.
Complete portfolio coverage
IWA Publishing is the only publisher whose entire programme is water. Editors, reviewers, indexing and conferences all sit inside the water sector. Full Portfolio partnership gives your library the whole programme, and your researchers a route to publish inside it.

Four fee-free routes for your researchers
Even without a Full Portfolio partnership, authors publishing in our journals may be eligible for fee-free or discounted Open Access through one of four routes.
| Route 1 | Route 2 | Route 3 | Route 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Institutional Agreements | Open Access Equity Policy | IWA Individual Member Discount | Discretionary Waivers |
| Fee-free Open Access in every IWA Publishing journal for authors at partner institutions on our Open Access Supporters list. | Full APC waivers for authors from Research4Life Group A and EIFL-partner countries; 50% discount for Group B. | 25% discount on all APCs for Corresponding Authors who are individual members of the International Water Association. | Case-by-case waivers for authors publishing high-societal-impact research in Subscribed Open Access journals, where no other funding route applies. |
