Megan Wacha started the topic Wiley acquires Hindawi in the forum
LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable 1 week, 3 days agoDear fellow ScholCommies,
Wiley has just announced that it’s acquired Hindawi, a publisher originally based out of Egypt that has been an important player in the open access ecosystem.
