YOUR GO-TO INTELLIGENCE RESOURCE FOR THE SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING INDUSTRY

Wiley, a global leader in research and education, has announced a partnership with Perplexity, a provider of generative AI (GenAI) search technology, to integrate Wiley’s verified academic resources into Perplexity’s AI-powered search tools. The collaboration marks Wiley as Perplexity’s first partner from the education sector and aims to improve how students, educators, and researchers access authoritative content through AI search.

Under the agreement, users at institutions subscribing to Perplexity’s Enterprise Pro will gain access to Wiley’s academic collections across disciplines such as nursing, engineering, and business. These resources, which include expert-reviewed and properly attributed materials, will be accessible through Perplexity’s GenAI interface, offering a new channel for discovering scholarly content while reinforcing academic integrity and responsible AI use.

The integration is designed to address concerns about AI-generated misinformation by embedding editorially reliable content into the search environment. Perplexity’s platform supports live web access and delivers sourced citations, enabling users to combine current information with trusted academic materials. The partnership also supports multilingual search, while continuing to cite English-language sources, making it applicable across global academic institutions in the US, UK, Australia, Asia, and other regions.

Initial pilot implementations have begun at institutions including Texas A&M University and Texas State University, with additional UK universities expected to join shortly.

The new offering is positioned as part of Wiley’s broader strategy to promote responsible AI adoption in research and education. Wiley has defined core principles for AI use, including human oversight, transparency, and fairness, which continue to guide its technological initiatives.

All Wiley employees will also receive access to Perplexity’s Enterprise Pro licenses, reinforcing the company’s internal adoption of AI tools in support of its mission to advance knowledge and learning through innovation.
