Wiley partners with Claude creator Anthropic, responsibly integrating AI across scholarly research

Academic publisher Wiley has announced plans for a new strategic partnership with Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude large language model, with an emphasis on responsible AI.

Wiley says it is adopting the Model Context Protocol, an open standard created by Anthropic which aims to provide seamless integration between authoritative, peer-reviewed content and AI tools across platforms.

Starting with a pilot project, and subject to definitive agreement, the partnership will see Wiley and Anthropic working together to ensure university partners have streamlined, enhanced access to Wiley content.

The partnership will also establish standards for integrating AI tools into scientific journal content, while providing appropriate context for users, including attributions and citations.

"The future of research lies in ensuring that high-quality, peer-reviewed content remains central to AI-powered discovery,” explans Josh Jarrett, Senior Vice President of AI Growth at Wiley. 

"Through this partnership, Wiley is not only setting the standard for how academic publishers integrate trusted scientific content with AI platforms but is also creating a scalable solution that other institutions and publishers can adopt. By adopting MCP, we’re demonstrating our commitment to interoperability and helping to ensure authoritative, peer-reviewed research will be discoverable in an increasingly AI-driven landscape."

“We're excited to partner with Wiley to explore how AI can accelerate and enhance access to scientific research," adds Lauren Collett, who leads Higher Education partnerships at Anthropic. 

"This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to building AI that amplifies human thinking—enabling students to access peer-reviewed content with Claude, enhancing learning and discovery while maintaining proper citation standards and academic integrity."

The news comes shortly after Anthropic announced the launch of Claude for Education, a version of its chatbot tailored to meet the needs of higher education institutions.
