Wiley Expands Advanced Journal Portfolio into Life and Health Sciences, Deepens Physical Science Offering

Six new journals, including two focused on AI research, to launch through 2026

HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wiley (NYSE: WLY), one of the world’s largest publishers and a global leader in research and learning, today announced plans to further expand the prestigious Advanced Portfolio, a series of highly-regarded journals in materials science, physics, and engineering communities, into new areas of study in the life and health sciences.

Led by the flagship OA journal, Advanced Science, and the world-renowned Advanced Materials, the Advanced Portfolio currently encompasses 22 high-impact titles built and driven by a team of full-time, professional editors. This strategic expansion underscores Wiley's dedication to advance knowledge at the intersection of disciplines and provide researchers with the resources they need to explore the complexities of modern science.

Wiley plans to launch six new Advanced titles in key health and life sciences fields, such as cell and molecular biology, oncology, neuroscience, and plant science by the end of 2026. In addition, the Advanced Portfolio is deepening its reach in the physical sciences, with a particular focus on chemistry and artificial intelligence (AI).

"Global challenges related to public health, the climate crisis, and food security are creating new imperatives for how science is generated and applied,” said Allyn Molina, Group VP of Publishing Development at Wiley. “Leveraging the Advanced Portfolio's storied success across the physical sciences, we aim to provide researchers with a cross-disciplinary advantage which will help drive real-world impacts ranging from improved treatments for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases to engineering innovations that combat climate change.”

Building off the success of Advanced Intelligent Systems, two new journals focused on AI, Advanced Intelligent Discovery and Advanced Robotics Research, are expected to launch by the end of 2024. In chemistry, Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis will formally join the Advanced Portfolio in January 2025.

“With a legacy of success spanning more than three decades, we look forward to both extending our physical science offering and expanding into new disciplines to deliver value for researchers around the globe,” said Kirsten Severing, Editor-in-Chief of Advanced Science.

Since the launch of Advanced Materials (2023 Impact Factor: 27.4) in 1988, the team at Wiley has been committed to building a distinguished family of journals that stand at the forefront of scientific innovation. Today, Advanced journals proudly publish groundbreaking discoveries from the world’s foremost researchers. The Advanced Portfolio is highly regarded globally, recognized as a top-tier collection of journals, dedicated to cutting-edge research with tangible real-world applications.

To enable this strategic direction, Wiley has launched a new home for the Advanced Portfolio on Wiley Online Library, a refreshed social media presence, as well as a new brand identity for the Advanced Portfolio. More information about the new journals and expansion will be available on the Advanced Portfolio site of Wiley Online Library.
