Wiley to expand Advanced Portfolio

Wiley will launch eight new Advanced journals by the end of 2026—with more planned over the next several years—offering researchers in life, health and social sciences high-impact venues to publish their work

2026-02-17

(Press-News.org) HOBOKEN, NJ—Wiley (NYSE: WLY), a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence for the advancement of scientific discovery, innovation and learning, today announced it will significantly expand the Advanced Portfolio into life, health, and social sciences disciplines, with plans to launch eight new journals by the end of 2026 and more to follow over the next several years.

This expansion of the Advanced Portfolio—a collection of scientific journals currently encompassing more than 25 high-impact titles—is designed to empower scientists, making publishing easier for researchers through a streamlined, collaborative approach. It also reflects Wiley’s commitment to accelerate science that addresses humanity's most pressing challenges across a wide range of disciplines.

Among the first new journals to launch will be Advanced Oncology, which opens for submissions next month. In support of this research community, Wiley's Advanced Portfolio is co-sponsoring the MD Anderson Cancer and Neuroscience Symposium taking place this week, February 19 and 20, in Houston, bringing together leading researchers to advance critical conversations that will shape the future of health and life sciences.

Other new titles—including journals spanning diverse fields at the intersection of human health, neuroscience, technology, and society—will be announced soon.

The Advanced Portfolio is anchored by flagship interdisciplinary journal Advanced Science and the world-renowned Advanced Materials. Its distinctive editorial approach—built on close collaboration between authors and editors—has earned the trust of the materials science community for more than three decades. The expansion enables researchers across the spectrum of sciences to have access to the same trusted, high-impact publishing experience.

With transparent production—and soon a greater array of journal options—the portfolio is designed to deliver premier service to authors. They submit their work once, and professional editors work across journals to find the best fit—eliminating unnecessary resubmission and reformatting cycles.

"For more than 35 years, the Advanced brand has earned researchers' trust through rigorous standards and collaborative partnerships," said Allyn Molina, group vice president of publishing development at Wiley. "Researchers have been telling us they need more prestigious yet accessible venues for their breakthrough work, and we listened; this expansion is our answer—launching premium options across every field of science."

This growth accelerates the Advanced Portfolio’s evolution from its origin as a materials science specialist into a comprehensive, multidisciplinary journal portfolio spanning the physical, life, health, and social sciences. Two Advanced journals focused on AI—Advanced Intelligent Discovery and Advanced Robotics Research—were added last year, and Advanced Chemical Engineering opened to submissions last month with immediate interest.

"Our decades-long legacy in the materials sciences has taught us the power of rigorous editorial standards combined with genuine collaboration," said Kirsten Severing, editor-in-chief of Advanced Science. "We're applying those same principles—quality, integrity, and interdisciplinary thinking—to these new fields. The goal is to make the Advanced Portfolio a natural home for researchers whose work crosses traditional boundaries."

Tropical forests generate rainfall worth billions, study finds

2026-02-17

University of Leeds news Embargoed: Tuesday 17 February 10:00 GMT (05:00 EST) Tropical forests help to generate vast amounts of rainfall each year, adding weight to arguments for protecting them as water and climate pressures increase, say researchers. A new study led by the University of Leeds has put a monetary value on one of forests’ least recognised services as a source of rainfall to surrounding regions, finding that each hectare generates 2.4 million litres of rain each year - enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Satellite observations were combined with simulations from the latest generation of climate models, to reduce long‑standing uncertainty ...

A yeast enzyme helps human cells overcome mitochondrial defects

2026-02-17

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most animal cells, this process depends closely on properly functioning mitochondria, the organelles responsible for respiration and energy production. When mitochondrial respiration fails—a common feature of mitochondrial diseases and several forms of cancer—cells lose the ability to proliferate normally. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that this dependence is not irreversible. An ...

Bacteria frozen in ancient underground ice cave found to be resistant against 10 modern antibiotics

2026-02-17

Bacteria have evolved to adapt to all of Earth’s most extreme conditions, from scorching heat to temperatures well below zero. Ice caves are just one of the environments hosting a variety of microorganisms that represent a source of genetic diversity that has not yet been studied extensively. Now, researchers in Romania tested antibiotic resistance profiles of a bacterial strain that until recently was hidden in a 5,000-year-old layer of ice of an underground ice cave – and found it could be an opportunity for developing new strategies to prevent the rise of antibiotic ...

Now, one researcher from The University of Osaka has analyzed the feasibility of a novel device for generating wave power. The device, called a gyroscopic wave energy converter (GWEC), was assessed for its potential in providing practical, large-scale energy generation. The findings were published last month in ...

Ketamine high NOT related to treatment success for people with alcohol problems, study finds

2026-02-17

The psychedelic effects recreational users often seek from taking ketamine do not predict the therapeutic benefits for people being treated for alcohol use disorder. The popular theory, which says that ketamine may have its therapeutic benefits because it produces strong psychedelic effects, has been called into question by a new study from King’s College London and the University of Exeter, published in Addiction. The study suggests the treatment response may be down to other effects of the drug. The research provides new insights into the use of intravenous ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for individuals with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder. It used data from ...

Maps can encourage home radon testing in the right settings

2026-02-16

Risk maps for the cancer-causing gas radon can encourage people to test their homes for the substance, but only if homeowners live in known, higher-risk areas, new University of Oregon research finds. For those living in low-risk areas, maps seem to not affect, or may even decrease, people’s intent to test for radon. “It might be the case that a household is exposed to radon for many, many years and they don't actually know about it, especially if they're not testing for radon,” said Cathy Slavik, the study’s lead author, who did the work as a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the UO. “That exposure can become really problematic,” ...
