Last week, our inaugural LEAD Women’s Leadership Program cohort gathered in Oxford with senior leaders and invited guests to celebrate the LEAD FY26 Closing Ceremony. 🎓 LEAD (Learn, Empower, Aspire, and Develop) is Wiley’s targeted women’s leadership and development program, focused on strategic skill-building, enhancing visibility, fostering connections, and increasing confidence. Our FY26 cohort brought a diversity of perspectives, experiences, and expertise to the program, and each had their own motivators and leadership goals. Participants were presented with certificates, a LEAD gift bag, and graduation caps to celebrate, followed by a post-Ceremony dinner, an in-person LEAD Panel Event with the Women of Wiley ERG, and more. Congratulations to our LEAD alumni! #LifeAtWiley

Big news: Wiley has acquired Emerald Publishing. Greater scale leads to greater impact - and this is about where research publishing is heading. As corporations build out AI, the demand for authoritative, peer-reviewed content is accelerating. Emerald deepens our content in economics, business, finance, and the broader social sciences at exactly the right moment. Research publishing and AI are mutually reinforcing growth engines for us, and today, we strengthen both. Read the full announcement: bit.ly/4u83zVK

May was a month of stories, connection, and celebration. Under this year's theme, Power in Unity: Strengthening Communities Together, the API ERG brought together colleagues from across Wiley to honor the history, culture, and contributions of the Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian community. A few of the many events included our Hoboken In-Person Celebration, where colleagues came together for an afternoon of boba tea, build-your-own goodie bags, and DIY bookmarks inspired by Asian art. Our fantastic BERG x AIP employee resource groups also hosted 'In the Kitchen with,' bringing teammates together to watch Chef Jason showcase cultural dishes, pancit, and mango sticky rice. A special thanks to our ERGs and colleagues for making this AAPI Month one to remember. #LifeAtWiley #AAPI

Meet @johnhopebryant…Wiley author, entrepreneur, bestselling author, financial literacy advocate, and founder of @OperationHOPE, the nation’s largest nonprofit focused on financial dignity and economic empowerment. In this edition of Portraits & Pages we learn his story: “I didn’t set out to be a writer. I set out to make an impact. I grew up in South Central Los Angeles, the son of a small-business-owning father and a mother who taught me that you could be broke in your pocket but never poor in your spirit. When I was 9, a banker walked into my 4th grade classroom and explained what he did for a living. In that moment, something rewired in me. I wanted to understand how money worked because nobody around me did, and I could already see the cost of that knowledge gap on families and communities like mine. The 1992 L.A. unrest became my second wake-up call. I drove toward the smoke and asked myself a question that has shaped my life ever since: how do we rebuild communities, so they never burn again? Operation HOPE was my answer. What began as a mission to restore hope and opportunity has grown into a broader effort to expand financial literacy, economic empowerment, and access to free enterprise. Every book I’ve written comes from lived experience. When you’ve sat across from a single mother and watched her raise her credit score by more than 100 points, you stop writing in abstractions. 'Capitalism for All' grew out of both frustration and faith: frustration that capitalism is often explained better by its critics than by its champions, and faith that the same system that helped lift my family from generational poverty can do the same for millions more if people are given the roadmap. What I hope readers take away is permission: permission to want more, to believe dignity and capital can work together, and to know their zip code is not their destiny. Outside of writing, I lead Operation HOPE and Bryan Group Ventures. I host the Money & Wealth podcast, but what fuels everything is simpler: time with my wife, a commitment to wellness, and an enduring belief that hope is not just a sentiment...it’s a strategy.” Interested in learning more?

As AI tools evolve, so do the risks around research integrity. Wiley has integrated @Imagetwin’s image screening into Research Exchange, adding advanced detection to the platform’s existing integrity checks. This brings greater visibility into issues like duplication, manipulation, plagiarism and AI-generated content, helping editorial teams flag potential risks earlier in the process. It’s part of a continued focus on investing in the systems and tools needed to protect the quality of published research.

We were proud to recently host our second Rising Voices event in partnership with All In Together.

Events like these reflect our continued commitment to investing in our people, strengthening community, and fostering inclusive leadership at every level.

25 leaders. Two days. One room. The full span of the AI-impacted scientific value chain from first hypothesis to patient, in conversation together for the first time. Last week, Wiley and @IQVIA_global brought together 25 of the most consequential minds in pharma, academia, AI & technology, and medical publishing for The Summit —a gathering designed to tackle the hardest question in science right now: How do we accelerate the translation of rigorous science into real-world patient impact when AI is reshaping every single stage of that journey? This was the founding conversation. Insights to follow. Watch this space.

Neurology rewards the clinician who can synthesize: the atypical presentation, the patient whose goals don’t map neatly onto guideline recommendations, the question where the answer is buried somewhere in the last paragraph of the results rather than sitting on the surface. As part of our partnership with @WileyGlobal, we now index and deliver full-text findings from eight journals published on behalf of the American Neurological Association, the European Academy of Neurology, the International League Against Epilepsy, and the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
