Wiley launches interoperable AI platform
Wiley has announced the launch of Wiley AI Gateway, which it is hailing as “the industry’s first AI-native research intelligence platform” to provide researchers access to content from scholarly publishers through a single endpoint.
The platform prioritises intentional interoperability, integrating scholarly content and data subscriptions with leading AI platforms: Anthropic’s Claude, AWS marketplace, Mistral AI’s Le Chat and Perplexity all connect to the AI Gateway.
Jay Flynn, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Research & Learning at Wiley, said: “Wiley AI Gateway transforms how researchers harness AI for scientific discovery by integrating trusted, peer-reviewed content directly into their daily AI workflows. As AI adoption among researchers surged from 57% to 84% in just one year, we recognised the need to meet them where they work – creating infrastructure that ensures AI-powered research is grounded in validated scholarly sources while positioning quality content as the cornerstone of reliable scientific discovery.”
Wiley says the AI Gateway employs advanced content transformation technology to convert scholarly and expert content into AI-optimised formats while preserving citation integrity, methodological context, and peer-review validation: “This enrichment process, combined with an endpoint built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), ensures that AI tools can effectively understand, synthesise, and cite research content with the accuracy and reliability that scientific discovery demands.
The platform, currently available to beta customers, aims to deliver key benefits to:
- Universities and Research Labs: Provides access to comprehensive, cross-publisher literature synthesis through familiar AI interfaces, with responses anchored to peer-reviewed sources.
- Corporate R&D Teams: Accelerates innovation cycles by leveraging AI-powered research discovery that spans multiple disciplines and publishers, ensuring breakthrough insights are grounded in validated scientific methodology.
- AI Development Partners: Builds more reliable, knowledge-grounded AI applications using enriched content feeds that eliminate hallucinations and bias through systematic integration of peer-reviewed research.
Wiley says the AI Gateway enables any publisher to connect to leading AI platforms while protecting and controlling the use of their content and maintaining their independence. Publishers including Sage and American Society for Microbiology (ASM) – two of Wiley’s Atypon customers – will be joining the network with additional publishers also participating to create an “industry-wide solution for trustworthy AI-powered research”.
“The AI Gateway expands Claude’s research capabilities by connecting it directly to peer-reviewed content,” said Lauren Collett, who leads Higher Education partnerships at Anthropic. “Researchers can now seamlessly combine trusted scientific literature with Claude’s analytical capabilities—from statistical analysis to code generation—unlocking entirely new research workflows while maintaining the rigorous standards that scientific discovery demands.”
“Researchers have access to more data than ever before, but finding it remains a challenge,” added Dan Sheeran, General Manager, Healthcare and Life Sciences, AWS. “Data is the foundation for AI innovation and AWS continues to invest in arming researchers with the latest AI tools to accelerate scientific discoveries by making it easier to discover and act on the right data at the right time. By making Wiley’s AI Gateway readily accessible to our life sciences customers through the AWS Marketplace, researchers can spend less time on procuring data and more time on what matters most – fuelling innovations.”
