Our Take

Wiley Online Library is another major publisher platform — the full-text home for Wiley’s journals, many of them society-published flagship titles in chemistry, medicine, and the social sciences. It is a quality catalogue, but as with ScienceDirect and SpringerLink it is one publisher’s slice, and you will bounce between platforms to assemble a full review. Use it for Wiley and society titles; discover across the field with a citation index and follow the DOIs.

Power Tips

  • Many Wiley titles are society journals — check here for flagship discipline journals you cannot find elsewhere.
  • Check Unpaywall before paying per-article.
  • Use DOIs to move cleanly between Wiley and your reference manager.
