Wiley
One of America's oldest academic and professional publishers, advancing knowledge through research and learning.
Wikipedia — Wiley (publisher)Wiley (legally John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) is an American multinational publishing company focused on academic publishing and instructional materials. It produces books, journals, and encyclopedias in both print and electronic formats, alongside online products and services, training materials, and educational content for undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education audiences.
Founded in 1807 in New York City by Charles Wiley, Wiley is one of the oldest publishers in the United States. After roughly two centuries in New York, the company relocated its headquarters to Hoboken, New Jersey, and operates worldwide through subsidiaries across Europe, Asia, Canada, and Australia. Its focus areas span science, technology, medicine, professional development, and higher education — including scholarly journals, reference works, textbooks, and professional/trade titles.
Matthew Kissner serves as President and CEO. The company is publicly traded on the NYSE (Class A: WLY; Class B: WLYB) and is a component of the S&P 600. For fiscal year 2024 (ended April 30, 2024), Wiley reported revenue of approximately US$1.87 billion and employed roughly 6,400 people, having reorganized around its core Research (about $1.04 billion) and Learning (roughly $575 million) businesses while divesting non-core assets.
Wiley describes its purpose as advancing knowledge and learning — framed as "publishing a better future through knowledge." As a knowledge- and content-driven publisher operating at scale across research and education, innovation in this space is directly relevant to how it creates, distributes, and monetizes scholarly and instructional content.
