Wiley, one of the world’s largest publishers and a global leader in research and learning, today announced the release of two new Wiley SmartSpectra Database Collections generated using the most current machine-learning techniques to significantly expand the number of spectral data available for analysis.

These new data collections, the Wiley SmartSpectra Vapor Phase IR Database Collection and Wiley SmartSpectra Raman Database Collection were created by Wiley Science Solutions using an AI-powered spectrum prediction engine derived from its high-quality, comprehensive spectral database collections—the largest commercially available. These new databases cover a broad range of compounds including general organics, biochemicals, drugs, dyes, food related compounds, industrial compounds, monomers, pollutants, and more.

“We are very proud of the work we continue to do in this area. As we expand the addressable chemical space, we help scientists reach conclusions faster,” said Graeme Whitley, Director of Data Science Solutions at Wiley.

The Wiley SmartSpectra databases of “computed” spectra are designed for use along with Wiley’s empirical databases of “measured” spectra in the analysis of unknown samples. They are especially useful in the identification of rarer compounds and materials, when a match cannot be found in the empirical databases.

Wiley SmartSpectra Databases are available exclusively through Wiley’s KnowItAll software, a comprehensive solution for spectral analysis and management.

About Analytical Qualification Using Infrared (IR) and Raman Spectroscopy
Scientists use spectral search software along with spectral reference databases to identify “unknown” substances or verify the composition of materials. First, an Infrared or Raman spectrometer measures a substance and produces a spectrum, which is expressed as a graph showing a series of peaks that is specific to the sample material. That spectrum is then compared to a spectral database containing the measured spectra of known substances using spectral search software. By using algorithms, the spectroscopy software finds the best match between the measured unknown spectrum and the library of known spectra, and the results suggest the most likely identity of the substance. Spectral analysis using search software and spectral libraries is used across a wide range of applications in industry, government, and academic laboratories.

Edward Elgar Publishing, one of the UK’s leading independent academic & professional publishers, and Deanta, a renowned publishing solutions provider, today announced a strategic partnership that will allow Edward Elgar to license Deanta’s AI XML-first production workflow platform, Lanstad.

This partnership enables Edward Elgar, winner of the 2023 IPG Independent Publisher of the Year award, to proudly maintain its independent publisher status and continue to manage production of its annual 600+ books and journal titles via its UK-based teams, but now with the transformative use of the Lanstad platform.

Lanstad’s AI-powered tools allow publishers to retain their independence while delivering a best-in-class experience for their authors and staff. By simplifying or automating elements of traditional production tasks like project management, typesetting, copyediting, author proofing, and indexing, Lanstad helps create the capacity publishers need to grow.

Key highlights of the partnership include:

• A 5-year partnership to license Lanstad
• Full 24/7 support function provided by Deanta
• Collaborative development roadmap to continually enhance the partnership

Tim Williams, Managing Director of Edward Elgar, said: “Since our founding 40 years ago, we have distinguished ourselves through exceptional service to authors and high production quality. Recommendations from our authors to their colleagues have been crucial to our growth. Our long-term partnership with Deanta will allow us to continue managing production in-house, maintaining our industry-leading service, while utilising new technologies to stay cost-competitive with those who off-shore their work.

The pilot program received excellent feedback from authors, who appreciated the faster production times. While we do not expect technology to replace skilled human editors, our copyeditors and proofreaders benefited from automating some of the more tedious technical tasks, allowing them to focus on enhancing the language quality of the final publication.

We were highly impressed by Deanta’s collaborative approach to developing Lanstad, their responsiveness in making improvements to meet our needs, and their understanding of the importance of protecting our authors’ intellectual property while implementing new technologies. It truly feels like they are part of the Elgar team.”

Darren Ryan, CEO of Deanta, said: “We are very proud of this partnership with Edward Elgar, which is a powerful reflection on the progress that we are making to transform the way production is managed across this industry. Independent publishers, like Edward Elgar, are a critical part of the publishing landscape, and we hope that this partnership allows them to retain their independence by providing a future-proof technological foundation for their operations.”

The partnership begins immediately for Edward Elgar’s books programme.
