Publisher John Wiley and Sons Inc. and the World Federation of Science Journalists (WFSJ) have announced a new partnership that provides access to scientific evidence to 57 member associations representing 10,000 journalists from around the world. The partnership provides journalists with access to the full collection of journals published on Wiley Online Library, on behalf of societies such as the American Cancer Society, the American Geophysical Union, Cochrane, and the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). A new series of science training webinars hosted by The Wiley Network and WFSJ will be introduced in 2018.
Wiley Online Library hosts the world's broadest and deepest multidisciplinary collection of online resources covering life, health and physical sciences, social science, and the humanities. It delivers integrated access to more than 6 million articles from more than 1,500 journals, which include some of the top titles in their respective fields.
Cochrane, an independent network of researchers, professionals, patients, carers, and people interested in health, produces the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews which contains more than 10,000 systematic reviews and protocols. CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians is ranked number one in oncology and Cancer is one of the most pre-eminent peer-reviewed titles in the field. The Journal of Geophysical Research, organised into seven disciplinary sections-most with impact factors of 3.0 or more, covers scientific research on the physical, chemical, and biological processes that contribute to the understanding of the Earth, Sun, and solar system and all of their environments and components. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers one of the foremost international journals of geographical research; and Reviews in Aquaculture, with an impact factor of 4.769 publishes peer-reviewed articles in aquaculture techniques, policies and planning.
Journalists must be active in one of the WFSJ member associations to access studies on Wiley Online Library. Representatives from Member Associations will provide access details to their members who request this benefit.
In 2018, WFSJ members will have access to a series of training webinars that look to increase journalists' understanding of best practices in scientific research. The series will also tackle some of the important global challenges, including extreme weather conditions, antimicrobial resistance, and access to food and water. The webinars will be led by some of the leading science experts with the goal of enhancing communication between researchers and journalists.
