DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 11th May, 2020: Knowledge E is pleased to announce it has extended its network of collaborations to Wiley.

Wiley, a global leader in research and education, joined Zendy with its extensive portfolio of journals, allowing Zendy users to access a wealth of academic research. The partnership covers the full collection of journals from the Wiley Online Library, anything from carbon energy to theoretical economics, in more than 30 countries.

Empowering researchers and learners for a world of accelerating change

The addition of Wiley resources will complement Zendy’s current offering, helping better connect research communities with scholarly literature. The partnership aspires to enrich the content available on Zendy and strengthen research and learning.

“We are delighted to extend our partnership to a publisher such as Wiley. With access to Wiley, we aim to provide a big boost to the accessibility of content in the community, furthering research and continuous learning.” – Founder and CEO, Knowledge E, Kamran R. Kardan

Duncan Campbell, Senior Director of Global Sales Partnerships at Wiley commented, “Wiley is very excited to be extending our working relationship with Knowledge E.

About Zendy 

Zendy is an online platform that aims to innovatively facilitate access to academic literature. It addresses the key challenges that we face with conventional ways of finding high-quality and relevant, academic content. Current online scholarly libraries exist behind expensive paywalls or require university facilitated access. For developing countries, it can be difficult to access academic publications if they cannot afford the subscriptions. Zendy serves to provide knowledge to everyone, everywhere.

Zendy is developed by Knowledge E in a growing collaboration with researchers, students, institutions and publishers. Join us on the journey of scholarly discovery, and reach out to us if you share the same vision and would like to contribute in any way.

Zendy is now available in Algeria, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, and the UAE with more countries in Africa to follow in 2020.
