A new online resource offering access to one of the world’s most extensive multidisciplinary collections of resources for health, physical sciences, social science and the humanities has been launched.
The Wiley Online Library contains millions of articles from thousands of books and journals from publishers John Wiley & Sons.
The resources available on the site also include many essential chemistry and evidence-based medicine databases, such as The Cochrane LibraryeEROS and SpecInfo.
President and chief executive William Pesce said the launch was a milestone event in Wiley’s 203-year history.
“It enables us to provide more access to more content by more people around the world than ever before,” he added.
Overall, the Wiley Online Library (WOL) offers integrated access to more than four million articles from 1,500 journals, 9,000 books, as well as hundreds of reference works and databases, and replaces Wiley’s InterScience platform.
The new WOL offers:
• An easy-to-use interface, developed in consultation with users, providing intuitive navigation and fast access to online content
• Research tools to enable the discovery of available resources and help pinpoint information
• Support for authors and researchers with integrated reference links and multiple options for exporting citations
• Personalisation options to keep up-to-date on the latest research with content alerts and RSS feeds and the ability to save key publications and articles for future reference
• Customisable product home pages that allow journal and society communities to highlight key features and share news and information
• Access icons that identify the content available to customers through institutional licenses, society membership and author-funded OnlineOpen publication, as well as freely available content.
The website can be found here with direct access to the pharmaceutical and pharmacology section available here.
