According to the agreement, WWIS will handle sales and inquiries for Research Solutions subsidiary Reprints Desk and the company's award-winning research retrieval platform Article Galaxy™, focusing on academic institutions.
Corporations, academic institutions, and government organisations around the world rely on Article Galaxy for copyright-compliant access to full-text scientific, technical, and medical content when subscription access does not yet exist.

Their knowledge of local market enables buyers and users across Southern Africa, providing the opportunity to develop business in these hard to reach markets.
