Wiley-Blackwell, the scientific, technical, medical, and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE:JWa and JWb), announced today the launch of a pilot program to make a portfolio of Biotechnology journals with more than 75,000 articles available through DeepDyve, the largest online rental service for scientific and scholarly research articles.  Through DeepDyve's innovative "Research, Rent, Read" model, researchers are able to discover and read-only articles from these journals on the DeepDyve site at affordable prices.  The pilot will feature 26 journals and content dating back to 1912, including the Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, American Journal of Medical Genetics, Biotechnology and Bioengineering and Cell Proliferation.

"Wiley is exploring new channels and business models for delivering our content, to the widest possible audience," said Reed Elfenbein, VP and Director of Sales and Marketing. "DeepDyve's innovative content rental model enables us to reach researchers who are working outside of academic institutions and who do not have the resources of institutional libraries to access the latest scientific publications in their fields.  Partnering with DeepDyve will help us to serve their information needs with flexibility and immediacy, while learning more about them and the opportunities and challenges presented by this innovative enabling technology."

DeepDyve targets unaffiliated knowledge workers who do not have access to content via an institutional library.  Users can sign up for different levels of membership: Basic (pay as you go for a 24-hour rental period); Silver (a monthly subscription for up to 10 articles, each for a one-week rental period); and Gold (a monthly subscription for up to 25 articles per month with no expiration date).  DeepDyve's "KeyPhrase" search technology supports queries of up to 5,000 words which ensures highly accurate results.  The company's proprietary document viewer allows users read-only access to the articles, but prevents them from printing or copying/pasting the contents of the document.  The DeepDyve viewer is also designed to work on iPads and other mobile devices.

"DeepDyve's mission is to make scientific and scholarly content available to the millions of unaffiliated knowledge workers throughout the world," said William Park, CEO of DeepDyve. "The biotech field in particular represents a tremendous opportunity given the vast number of startups and midsize companies in the U.S and abroad.  We're excited to partner with Wiley to bring their authoritative content to this untapped audience of entrepreneurs and researchers."
