DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 30th October 2019 – Today, Zendy added new titles from SAGE Publishing to its existing library of academic literature! The new partnership expands over Middle East and Africa with the exception of South Africa.

ZendyPlus users can now access over 120,000 publications including more than 30,000 journals and 30,000 eBooks across all disciplines through a simple and affordable monthly subscription model. 

The Zendy team is excited by the progress made so far and expects to one day provide individuals with the best resources available in their pursuit for knowledge.  

In the current academic environment, individuals have to navigate institutional login pages, subscriptions, and exorbitant paywalls. Meanwhile, outside academia, restricted access to research has an added impact on people’s lives. In business, there are countless missed opportunities to innovate when individuals have no access to up-to-date research. Growth in healthcare suffers when doctors have limited access to medical research, and restricted access is a significant obstacle in developing countries where medical professionals have even fewer resources at hand.

“This partnership with SAGE Publishing is yet another step towards a more knowledgeable world. We are very excited and hope to one day grant our users an over-arching view of all current discoveries in their field of interest.” – Founder and CEO, Knowledge E, Kamran R. Kardan

“Our main goal has always been to disseminate knowledge and information as widely as possible and we are really pleased that this licensing opportunity will allow us to reach more individuals who are looking for high quality research.”  – Manager of Global Rights and Licensing, SAGE Publishing, Claire Louise Harper

About Zendy

Zendy is an online platform created to provide individuals with access to scholarly research and literature. Zendy originates from the notion of building a more knowledgeable world, as there has never been a time where easy, affordable access to content has been more needed.

Current scholarly databases exist behind crippling paywalls or require university facilitated access, which is a challenge for individuals across the globe not affiliated with institutions. Access to scientific publications is particularly troublesome in developing countries, where many universities cannot afford the subscription databases required for advancing research and studies.

Zendy is working to remove barriers from scholarly discovery to make academic literature affordable and accessible to everyone, all academic and non-academic professionals, students, and knowledge enthusiasts.
