Wiley partners with Anthropic to integrate research content with AI tools

HOBOKEN, N.J. - Wiley (NYSE:WLY), a major research and learning publisher with a market capitalization of $2.27 billion and an impressive 74.29% gross profit margin, announced plans Wednesday for a strategic partnership with AI company Anthropic to integrate peer-reviewed content with AI platforms. According to InvestingPro data, Wiley maintains a strong financial health score and has consistently raised its dividend for 26 consecutive years.

The partnership centers on Wiley’s adoption of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard created by Anthropic that will enable seamless access to scholarly content across multiple AI platforms. Beginning with a pilot program and subject to definitive agreement, the companies will work to ensure university partners have enhanced access to Wiley research content. The company’s solid financial position, with earnings per share of $1.56 in the last twelve months, provides a strong foundation for this strategic initiative.

A key focus of the collaboration is establishing standards for how AI tools properly integrate scientific journal content while providing appropriate attribution and citations.

"The future of research lies in ensuring that high-quality, peer-reviewed content remains central to AI-powered discovery," said Josh Jarrett, Senior Vice President of AI Growth at Wiley.

The announcement coincides with Anthropic’s Claude for Education initiative, which introduces new partnerships and tools for higher education. Researchers and students at institutions piloting the integration will be able to access Wiley’s scientific journal content directly within Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant.

"We’re excited to partner with Wiley to explore how AI can accelerate and enhance access to scientific research," said Lauren Collett, who leads Higher Education partnerships at Anthropic.

This initiative represents Wiley’s latest effort to make high-quality content available for emerging AI applications across fields including life sciences, education, and earth sciences.

According to the press release statement, Wiley has established core principles for responsible AI use, focusing on human oversight, transparency, fairness, and appropriate governance.
