The Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews (WIREs) combine the most powerful features of online review journals (high online visibility, immediacy, full abstracting and indexing) with the traditional strengths of the encyclopedic reference model (structure, authority, and comprehensiveness of coverage). A built-in mechanism for updating previously published content further differentiates the WIREs from traditional review journals.
 
With their deliberate focus on high-impact topics at the interfaces of the traditional research fields, together with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary outreach at the level of the individual article, the WIREs offer a valuable new forum for cross-disciplinary communication in scientific and scholarly research.
 

Beginning in their third full calendar year, WIREs titles will be available through a paid subscription as electronic-only titles. Subscription prices will depend on institutional size. Customers will receive access back to Volume 1, Issue 1 regardless of when they purchase a subscription.
 
In order to allow you and your library patrons to 'test-drive' the WIREs before committing to them, we offer free online access to institutional subscribers in the first two years after they launch. This will allow your institution to gauge end-user interest prior to making a purchasing decision.
