Profile

John Wiley & Sons, Inc.WLYCommunication Services

Publishes peer-reviewed journals, books, digital courseware, and workplace assessments, while licensing research content for AI and operating publishing platforms for societies and third parties. Research is the larger segment, with recurring journal agreements and partner-owned publication rights shaping the model.

Publishes scholarly research through its Research segment and higher-education and professional content through Learning. Research spans subscription and open-access journals, society publishing partnerships, AI content licensing, and Atypon hosting and workflow services; the Emerald acquisition broadened the portfolio in business, economics, engineering, and social sciences. Learning sells print and digital books, WileyPLUS and zyBooks courseware, and workplace assessments.

Operates predominantly through digital products, with publishing centers across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, China, Germany, and India. Multi-year journal subscriptions and transformational agreements add recurring revenue, while open-access fees are tied to article publication. Research is the larger segment, and nearly half of journal-subscription revenue depends on publishing rights owned by professional societies and other partners.
