Wiley partners with Anthropic on 'responsible AI integration'
Academic publisher Wiley is set to partner with artificial intelligence research and development company Anthropic on "responsible AI integration".
Wiley will adopt the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard created by Anthropic, which aims to "integrate authoritative, peer-reviewed content and AI tools" across multiple platforms.
Additionally, the publisher said that another key focus of the partnership is to "establish standards for how AI tools properly integrate scientific journal content into results while providing appropriate context for users, including author attribution and citations".
Josh Jarrett, senior vice-president of AI growth at Wiley said: "The future of research lies in ensuring that high-quality, peer-reviewed content remains central to AI-powered discovery. 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."
The announcement coincides with Anthropic’s Claude for Education initiative, which the publisher said "highlights new partnerships and tools designed to amplify teaching, learning, administration and research in higher education".
Claude is an educationall AI tool that can be used by students and academics to summarise complex information, create personalised study plans and assist with data analysis and visualisation.
Lauren Collett, who leads higher education partnerships at Anthropic, said: "We’re excited to partner with Wiley to explore how AI can accelerate and enhance access to scientific research. 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."
A statement from Wiley added: "Wiley is committed to the responsible use of AI and has officially established core principles – focusing on the importance of human oversight, transparency, fairness and appropriate governance – upon which its journey is grounded."
