John Wiley & Sons, Inc., commonly known as Wiley, is an American publishing and knowledge-services company founded in New York City in 1807. It began as a book-publishing business and grew into an international publisher serving academic, professional, and educational audiences. The company is publicly traded and headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey. Wiley’s publishing and digital offerings include scholarly journals, academic and professional books, reference works, educational materials, and online research resources. Its subject areas span scientific, technical, medical, social-science, and professional fields. The company also operates services and platforms for the research and learning communities. Wiley Online Library, for example, provides access to journals, books, reference works, and other research content; Wiley’s current website describes access to more than 2,000 journals, 260 reference works, and 27,000 books. Its portfolio also includes established book and learning names such as For Dummies, WileyPLUS, and Sybex.

The company presents its mission as transforming knowledge into actionable intelligence and emphasizes the role of information, research, and technology in addressing practical challenges. Wiley is also developing and applying artificial intelligence in research, learning, and publishing. Its stated approach emphasizes human oversight, accountability, transparency, safety, and fairness, and it provides guidance for authors, researchers, peer reviewers, and editors on responsible AI use. The brand therefore combines a long-established publishing business with contemporary digital platforms and services. It remains active, serving international markets with a focus on scholarly communication, education, professional knowledge, and research-related products.

John Wiley & Sons traces its origins to 1807, when Charles Wiley established a publishing business in New York City. The company’s name reflects the development of that business by the Wiley family, and it grew from its early book-publishing roots into a publisher serving scholarly, educational, and professional communities. Over its long history, the firm’s publishing activities expanded across subjects and formats, with books and journals forming central parts of its business. As research and higher education grew, Wiley developed a substantial presence in scholarly publishing. Its activities came to include journals and books across scientific, technical, medical, social-science, and professional disciplines, as well as publishing relationships with learned societies and other organizations. This work connected the company with authors, researchers, libraries, universities, and professional readers. Wiley’s reference and educational publishing broadened its reach beyond research journals, while its professional and practical titles addressed learners and working audiences. The company also expanded beyond print publishing into online information and learning services. Wiley Online Library became a digital point of access for journals, books, reference works, and research content. The company’s portfolio includes WileyPLUS, a digital learning offering, as well as consumer and professional book brands such as For Dummies and Sybex. These products illustrate how Wiley’s business came to encompass both content and platforms for accessing or using that content. In the present era, Wiley describes its business in terms of transforming knowledge into actionable intelligence and supporting researchers, educators, and professionals. Its services include research publishing, digital resources, publishing support, and products for learning and professional development. The company’s website also presents tools for journal discovery and services designed to support research organizations and scholarly societies. More recently, Wiley has addressed the impact of artificial intelligence on research and scholarly communication. The company says it is using AI to advance research, enhance learning, and create value, while setting out principles that include safety, fairness, integrity, accountability, transparency, and human oversight. It provides guidance on AI use for authors and researchers and for peer reviewers and editors. This reflects Wiley’s continuing effort to combine its publishing legacy with technology and digital services. The company remains an active, publicly traded publisher headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey, serving audiences in the United States and internationally.
