A passion for e-publishing

Many colleagues in various departments in Weinheim, Chichester, London and Hoboken are involved in ensuring that our fast growing e-program is accessible 24/7 throughout the world. The next two snapshots show you who is working in the Weinheim offices taking care that more and more of your books and data are ready to go online and that basic product info about this travels globally.

Peter Fischer (physical chemist, head of electronic publishing), Melanie Anselment (librarian, technical web coordinator), Andreas Muth (chemist, editorial & content systems), Steffen Pauly (chemist, associate publisher online books), Stefan Körnig (physicist, author and editorial online services), Ulrike Winter (chemical engineer, e- and online-products), and Dagmar Litters (technical data coordinator) make sure that standardized files are prepared, quality checked and are fed into Wiley Online Library - our online platform, but also such other services as Netlibrary. Reinhard Neudert (chemist) focuses on data collections, such as Professor Laatsch's AntiBase - the Natural Compound Identifier, Dr. Rösner's Mass Spectra of Designer Drugs and WileyPLUS that "helps teachers to teach and students to learn" with textbooks like Voet's Biochemistry or Halliday's Physics.

Almost 25 million students, teachers, academics, researchers and many more around the globe have access via consortia licences to Wiley Online Library. And everyone with internet access can access for free the tables of contents and abstracts of more than 1,550 online books, 60 large reference works like Ullmann's, the MAK collection, the Encyclopedia of Applied Physics or the Encyclopedia of Genetics, Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics and ca. 1 million journal articles.
In addition, there are 11 data collections like The Cochrane Libraray or Negwer's Organic-Chemical Drugs and their Synonyms, which are available to up to 189 million users. Hottest research is combined with the digital archives going back to 1799 (Annalen der Physik) and 1832 (Liebigs Annalen). Look for yourself at http://www.interscience.wiley.com!

And if you are a physicist or simply interested in physics, take a look at our new physics portal www.physpy.com which has just launched in its international version.

We strongly believe that the internet opens books to many more readers and are also participating in experiments with Google and Amazon.

Summer impressions & more

Lasers have been his life, and so its natural that Theodor W. Hänsch, winner of the Physics Nobel prize, serves as a member of the editorial board for our journal Laser Physics Review.

Coming back to summer

Attached please find some snapshots from summer events (this time more chemistry orientated) around the globe and the book bestsellers in each case.
