Wiley, a global scientific and academic publishing company, has launched a new interoperable platform designed to connect scientific literature with leading artificial intelligence systems, giving researchers and developers direct access to validated knowledge content within AI tools. The platform is called the Valley AI Gateway and aims to make the AI Data Foundation a peer-reviewed body of knowledge while preserving citation integrity and intellectual property rights.
The system supports several major AI partners at launch, including Anthropic, AWS, Misunderstanding, and Troubleshoot, allowing them to access Valley content through standard protocols. The company says the platform is built to align with the Model Context Protocol, a popular framework that lets AI tools interact with structured data from external sources. Wiley describes its approach as “interoperable by design,” meaning other publishers can participate through the same standard rather than proprietary integration.
Two of these publishers, Sage and the American Society for Microbiology, are among the first to join the network. Wiley says additional publishers and societies are in talks to link their content as well, which will expand the system’s coverage across sectors.

By linking scientific sources directly to AI models, Wiley hopes to address a major challenge in using generative AI for research: deception in the form of unverifiable or fabricated references. Wiley says its AI Gateway uses advanced content conversion technology to convert academic content into AI-optimized formats while preserving citation integrity, methodological context and peer-reviewed validation. This allows AI tools to accurately cite scientific content and enables users to refer output back to their original publications.
Valley Systems calls itself an AI-native research intelligence platform, reflecting its goal of making validated scientific content more useful and reliable within a growing ecosystem of generative AI tools. For researchers, that can mean faster access to relevant studies, more reliable abstracts, and more confidence in the presentation of citations. The company says AI Gateway was designed to meet researchers within their existing AI workflows as adoption increases, as noted by Jay Flynn, the company’s EVP and GM of Research and Learning.
“Wiley AI Gateway transformed how researchers use AI for scientific discovery by integrating trusted, peer-reviewed content directly into their daily AI workflows,” Flynn said in a release. “As the adoption of AI among researchers increased from 57 percent to 84 percent in just one year, we recognized the need to meet them where they work, by creating an infrastructure that ensures AI-powered research is anchored in peer-reviewed scholarly sources as quality content as the cornerstone of reliable scientific discovery.”
Valley A Gateway has partnered with Anthropic and Troublesome, as well as collaborating with AWS to launch a generative AI agent for searching scientific literature, the first of its kind from a publisher on AWS. The collaboration integrates Valley’s peer-reviewed content into life sciences research agents built with Amazon Bedrock, allowing users to securely query scientific data in an AWS environment. The company also announced that Valley AI Gateway is supporting the European Space Agency’s φ Lab, which is using it to bring cognitive content to Earth Virtual Expert (EEE), an AI-powered research agent based on peer-reviewed climate and atmospheric science.
Anthropic’s Cloud, AWS Marketplace, Mistral AI’s LeChat, and Anxiety all connect to AI Gateway. Wiley says the new platform is currently available to beta users, and is immediately available to publishers looking to integrate their content with AI research tools. Read more about it at this link.
