In the early years, Wiley was best known for the works of Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and other 19th century American literary giants. But by the turn of the century, the company was established as a leading publisher of science and technology. Today's areas of specialization include the sciences, engineering, technology, mathematics, accounting, and business management, with a growing presence in general interest titles. The company publishes books, journals, and electronic products for the scientific, technical, educational, professional, and consumer markets. We are committed to providing information in those formats most accessible to our readers and are taking advantage of the rapid advances in digital information technology to enhance the speed and flexibility with which we deliver print publications as well as to develop a range of offerings in electronic formats.
Wiley develops books, journals, and electronic products that target three general markets, including Scientific, Technical, and Medical (STM), Educational, and Professional/ Trade (P/T).

Wiley is one of the world's top STM publishers for students, researchers, academics, and practitioners worldwide. Number one in commercial chemistry publishing, Wiley is also strong in the life and biomedical sciences, and technology.
