IReL and Taylor & Francis Group have signed a new transformative agreement for 
three years starting in March 2021.

IReL is a licensing consortium of nine participating Irish publicly-funded 
higher education institutions. This deal allows Irish researchers access to 
Taylor & Francis Group journals as well as the option to publish in around 
2,000 titles without paying article publishing fees.

“As we continue to grow our open access portfolio, we are thrilled that Irish 
academics will be able to choose open with us, and their work will be 
immediately available to other readers.” says Carolyn Kirby, Open Access 
Business Development Director at Taylor & Francis Group. “This transformative 
deal supports funder requirements and allows author choice while enabling 
access for researchers and students at IReL institutions to the content we 
publish.”

Jack Hyland, the IReL Manager,  says: “We are committed to open access and are 
proud to partner with Taylor & Francis Group to support our members in ensuring 
their research is immediately and permanently available to all readers without 
barriers.”

Taylor & Francis Group is committed to open access, offering a variety of open 
access publishing options to meet the needs of each author, with rapid online 
publication and high visibility and discoverability for published research.
